Liverpool have made contact with Newcastle over a potential move for Bruno Guimaraes.
The Reds are set to bolster their squad this summer and at least one new midfielder is expected to come in following the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Arthur. Jurgen Klopp has been left with four senior midfielders and he is ready to strengthen in that position.
Guimaraes, 25, has emerged as a top target. The Brazilian has impressed for Newcastle since his big-money move from Lyon 18 months ago and was part of the Magpies side that reached the Champions League. He missed just six matches last season and played an integral role in their fourth-place finish.
