Newcastle United are ready to issue another "hands off" warning on Bruno Guimaraes ahead of the World Cup. Eddie Howe stated last week that new contract talks are yet to unfold on the former Lyon man after he only signed a new deal taking him to 2026 in January.
But it may be inevitable that Newcastle have to get around the table soon with Bruno as Real Madrid and Chelsea show a big interest in the midfielder.
Suggestions in the capital are that Newcastle are prepared to offer Bruno a £200,000 per week deal but Toon sources have not confirmed such an offer at this stage. Such a contract would break the wage ceiling at Newcastle with the highest earners picking up around £120,000 at the moment.
