Bruno Guimaraes' representatives are in open dialogue on extending the Brazil star's contract at St James' Park.
The midfielder has been heavily linked with Real Madrid in the past week or so but insists he is happy on Tyneside with his family settled in the area. However, Bruno still has three years left on the £120,000 per week deal he signed last January.
Any improved extension would make Bruno Newcastle's top earner at Benton but the Magpies will need to build a team around the midfielder if they are to challenge for Europe again next season. The Magpies have recently handed Miguel Almiron and Kieran Trippier new deals as they look to start preparations for the next phase of the club's exciting project.
