A Spanish press report revealed that Newcastle United intends to avoid violating the rules of financial fair play during the coming period, by releasing some of its players in the summer.
According to the Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Newcastle is open to selling Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes at the end of the current season.
She pointed to Barcelona’s desire to take advantage of this situation, by moving through its sporting director Deco, who places Guimaraes as his top priority, to sign him.
The newspaper confirmed that the 10-point deduction from Everton this season prompted Newcastle officials to be cautious, especially after the club’s losses amounted to 150 million pounds sterling in the last two seasons.
This matter may expose the Macbais to financial penalties that deprive him of deals or subject him to deducting points from him in the next season, which prompts him to try to sell some of his players against his will.
The Catalan club will not find an easy way towards the Brazilian international, who is also receiving interest from Paris Saint-Germain, in addition to his high price in the transfer market.
Guimaraes and those interested in including him will try to reduce the amount required for his sale, given that his contract includes a penalty clause worth 115 million euros.
Barcelona wants to reach an agreement with Newcastle, stipulating the inclusion of the former Lyon player for 80 million euros, as the total cost of the deal.
