Bruno Guimaraes, the Brazilian midfielder, has committed to a fresh five-year deal with Newcastle United. He has garnered significant support from the fans in Tyneside due to his crucial contributions in steering the team clear of relegation during the latter half of the 2021/22 season. Furthermore, his pivotal role in securing a top-four finish and leading the team to the Carabao Cup final in the previous season has further endeared him to the supporters.
This week, he provided an assist in the unforgettable 4-1 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Despite speculation about his future during the summer, with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Real Madrid rumored to be interested in signing the 25-year-old, it seems that he will remain at St James' Park for the foreseeable future, as this deal extends until 2028.
Guimaraes expressed his utmost joy and gratitude, stating, "I am thrilled beyond words. The unwavering support from the fans has made me feel a part of the community from the very beginning, and their love has enriched my life.
I am truly content in this place, as it provides a sense of comfort and belonging. My aim is to continue bringing happiness to the supporters and contribute to the team's success. The sheer happiness I feel to be here cannot be adequately described."
In my initial interview, I expressed my desire to compete for this club in the Champions League, and now that dream has become a reality. Our performance has been exceptional, and whenever I glance across the field at my teammates, I feel an immense sense of pride. This extends to everyone involved in the club - the staff, owners, and fans.
The city has regained its faith in us, and the transformation we have brought to the team is nothing short of remarkable. I hope that this progress can be sustained. It is truly astounding to reflect on the incredible turn my life has taken in the past couple of years.
Newcastle's head coach, Eddie Howe, expressed his happiness in securing the long-term commitment of Bruno Guimaraes, whom he signed from Lyon in January 2022. Howe praised Guimaraes as an essential player who has excelled since joining the club. He hopes that Guimaraes will continue his impressive performances and contribute to the team's ongoing success. Additionally, Howe believes that Guimaraes embodies the recent achievements of the club, highlighting his consistent performances on the field and his admirable personality off it.
