In late January this year, Casemiro announced officially that he will leave Manchester United after his contract expires at the end of this season.
So, it became clear that Manchester United will have to find a holding midfielder to replace Casemiro. Now, United’s main priority for the summer will be signing midfielders.
They will be looking to sign at least two midfielders now. Also, if Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes leave the club at the end of the season, they might need further reinforcements.
That is why the Red Devils are creating a long list of midfield targets that includes Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, and Sandro Tonali.
Recently, they received a massive boost in their pursuit of Elliot Anderson. However, United are eyeing a different midfielder to replace Casemiro.
According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United are eyeing a move for Bruno Guimaraes to replace Casemiro next season.
The report claims that the Red Devils have already made contact with the player’s camp. However, Newcastle United rate their midfielder highly.
That is why they are not ready to let him leave easily. They are already planning new contract talks with the Brazilian.
Also, if he leaves the club, then Newcastle will be asking for a massive transfer fee, as they did with Alexander Isak.
So, Manchester United will have to act in a smart way if they are to sign one of the most versatile and talented midfielders in the Premier League.
🚨 Newcastle are determined to keep hold of Bruno Guimarães despite growing interest from Manchester United.
