Eddie Howe wants the 'unique' Bruno Guimaraes to stay on Tyneside despite interest from Premier League rivals. The Brazilian continues to boast fan-favourite status at Newcastle United as attention turns to whether the Magpies can keep him away from some big-name suitors this summer and beyond.
Chronicle Live understands Newcastle have opened dialogue with the player and his representatives, while Guimaraes himself has been saying all the right things in the media of late. Bruno still has three years left on the £120,000 per week deal he signed last January.
However, Chelsea are the latest club interested in a deal for the former Lyon star, with new owner Todd Boehly still determined to splash the cash despite a whopping outlay in recent months. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola also laid on the charm when speaking to Bruno during the Etihad clash last weekend.
