Newcastle's third signing in the winter window finally came out, and Newcastle and Lyon agreed on a transfer to Guimarães at a cost of around £30 million.
Guimarães and his agent will be making decisions about the player's future in the coming hours, with Newcastle's offer struggling to change his mind, with the midfielder drawing the attention of Arsenal and Juve last summer. Newcastle did offer him for 40 million euros, but neither Lyon nor Guimarães would have a hard time changing their minds. Guimarães has been shortlisted for Brazil's new squad and will play in the World Preliminary Tournament against Ecuador and Paraguay.
Once Guimarães' agent completes the final details of the agreement with Lyon, he will undergo a medical examination at Newcastle upon his return to Brazil, where the player is currently preparing for the game with the Brazilian national team. Guimarães, who is currently based in Ecuador, will undergo a medical examination in South America and complete the formalities for joining Newcastle after completing his national team assignment.
Guimarães is 24 years old and plays as a midfielder. In January 2020 he joined Lyon for £18 million. So far this season, Guimarães has played 25 games for Lyon, contributing six assists. So far this season, Guimarães has made 226 passes in the offensive thirty-meter zone, ranking first among all midfielders in the big five leagues.
At present, Newcastle is in the bottom of the Super League with 15 points, another point away from the fourth-to-last Norwich, Newcastle is still undergoing a large reinforcement, who will be the fourth signing? Newcastle has abandoned the introduction of Jesse Lingard. The deal has now largely failed. At the heart of the disagreement is the loan fee, with Newcastle and Manchester United at odds over how much to pay. Jesse Lingard himself does not intend to stay at Old Trafford and he is eager to go to a team where he can play regularly. Newcastle also abandoned the introduction of Diego Carlos from Seville. Newcastle finally has the final madness.
