Eddie Howe is adamant he intends to keep Bruno Guimarães at Newcastle long term but acknowledges he would be “absolutely foolish” to offer any guarantees.
The Brazil midfielder’s contract contains a £100m release clause and he is much admired by, among others, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City. “Players like Bruno are not around every corner,” said Newcastle’s manager. “They are very, very rare. Bruno should be appreciated for everything he brings.”
