Crickex Affiliate reporters have revealed that Liverpool are closely monitoring the contract situation of Newcastle United’s Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães and are preparing to make a bold move for the seemingly untouchable star. Since joining from Lyon, Guimarães has been a pivotal figure in Newcastle’s midfield. The 25-year-old has adapted remarkably well to the Premier League and was a standout performer across all competitions last season.
Currently, Guimarães is negotiating a new deal with Newcastle that is expected to include a £100 million release clause — a deterrent to potential suitors. But according to Liverpool insiders, that figure does little to intimidate the Merseyside club. The Reds previously offered even more for Moisés Caicedo before he chose Chelsea, a move that showcased the financial commitment and ambition of Fenway Sports Group. As the saying goes, fortune favors the brave.
One stumbling block, however, is Newcastle’s Champions League qualification this season, whereas Liverpool are not in the competition. That said, the Premier League campaign is still young — Liverpool sit second in the standings while Newcastle have had a rocky start, currently eighth. There’s still plenty of time for Liverpool to gain leverage and negotiate their way in.
In parallel, Liverpool have also shown interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Exequiel Palacios, a 24-year-old World Cup winner with Argentina. Unfortunately for the Reds, Palacios recently renewed his contract under Xabi Alonso’s management, likely taking him off the market for now.
Meanwhile, fans have been raving about Dominik Szoboszlai’s recent performances. In Liverpool’s Carabao Cup clash with Leicester City, Szoboszlai scored a sensational long-range goal — his second since arriving — helping the team progress to the next round. Many supporters believe the Hungarian playmaker could be the true heir to Steven Gerrard’s legendary No. 8 shirt.
Some Crickex Affiliate users even suggested that Szoboszlai has the potential to one day join the ranks of Premier League greats like Gerrard and Paul Scholes. With outstanding talent, professionalism, and a strong mentor in Jürgen Klopp, his ceiling appears sky-high. Of course, greatness is a journey, not a destination — and Szoboszlai is just getting started.
