According to Football Transfers, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain made summer transfer window offers that Newcastle turned down, with the Ligue 1 champions offering more than the Reds.
While the capital club’s midfield has improved significantly, it still lacks depth. As a result, going after Guimaraes made sense. However, following the Brazilian was a difficult task given Newcastle United’s participation in the UEFA Champions League.
Furthermore, the Magpies want £100 million for the former Olympique Lyonnais star, according to the article. Guimaraes is under contract until 2026, therefore the Premier League club has the leverage to demand a big transfer fee.
PSG fans will be get to view the 25-year-old up close and personal on October 4 when the Parisians visit St. James’ Parks. The English club will then travel to the Parc des Princes on November 28. As a result, these two matches could feed any desire to sign the player.
