Liverpool may have to give up on their dream transfer for Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who has a special clause in his contract that favours Barcelona. The Brazilian joined the Magpies from Lyon last year and has been a key player for them.
Liverpool reportedly had a bid for Guimaraes rejected on transfer deadline day in the summer, as Jurgen Klopp wanted to bring him to Anfield. However, the 25-year-old signed a new contract with Newcastle until 2028, which includes a release clause of £100million.
According to Sport, Barcelona have an advantage over other clubs in the race for Guimaraes, as they can sign him for just £60million due to a clause in his contract. This could deter Liverpool from pursuing the player, as they may feel they are paying too much compared to the Catalan giants.
Guimaraes has previously expressed his admiration for Barcelona and could be tempted by a move to the Nou Camp in the future. However, Barcelona's financial problems may prevent them from making a move for him anytime soon.
Liverpool have already strengthened their midfield in the summer by signing Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo. The Reds are doing well without Guimaraes, as they are fourth in the Premier League table after eight games.
Guimaraes has also been impressive for Newcastle, scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists in 68 appearances. He has also helped them qualify for the Champions League, where they have drawn with AC Milan and beaten Paris Saint-Germain.
Guimaraes is happy at Newcastle and has said he wants to play for them in the Champions League. He has also praised the fans, the team and the owners for making him feel at home. He is unlikely to leave Newcastle unless Barcelona activate his clause or another club pays his £100million release fee.
