Newcastle United are moving fast to secure the future of midfield stars Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali amid rising transfer interest.
As per TBR Football, Newcastle want to remove the £100 million release clause in Guimaraes’ contract, which was signed last year. Despite the high figure, club insiders remain concerned that it could be triggered.
Manchester City are named as “huge admirers”, and the financial muscle of the former Premier League and European champions makes them a credible threat.
Guimaraes reportedly costed Newcastle £33 million in January 2022, with the fee rising through add-ons.
He has since emerged as the club’s heartbeat and was appointed captain at the start of this season. The club sees him as as a vital player in Eddie Howe era at St. James’ Park.
The report also confirms Newcastle are considering a new deal for Sandro Tonali. After missing last season due to a betting ban, Tonali has delivered outstanding performances this term.

His form has led to interest from Inter Milan and Juventus, who have informed his camp of their desire to bring him back to Italy.
Despite this, Newcastle reportedly plan to reward Tonali, who reportedly joined the club in a £55 million move from AC Milan in 2023, on a five-year contract.
Sandro Tonali hints at long-term Newcastle stay
A few days ago, Sandro Tonali hinted at a long-term future with Newcastle United. In a behind-the-scenes video capturing his daily life on Tyneside, Tonali joked,
“I don’t understand Geordie. I need four, five years more…” Despite ongoing interest from Italy, Tonali and his representatives have repeatedly dismissed exit rumors.
