Pep Guardiola collared Bruno Guimaraes last week to tell him he was “bueno, good.”
Newcastle’s talisman and fan favourite says he has spoken to Guiardiola “a few times,” and that “in my opinion Pep is a genius, the best coach in history.”
Flattering, flirty words spoken to Brazilian media, creating that nagging worry for Geordies that their play-maker could be off in the summer. Already Bruno G has admitted Real Madrid called him last summer for a brief conversation, to check on his situation. And that situation is he has a deal with Newcastle until 2026… who don’t actively want to sell. I say actively because everyone has a price, and Bruno’s is probably north of £80m, double the cash United paid for him 15 months ago.
