Liverpool reportedly made a substantial £100 million ($125 million) offer for Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes, but the Magpies staunchly rejected the proposal. Following the departures of Fabinho, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, and Jordan Henderson, Liverpool sought to bolster their midfield with high-quality additions. They successfully secured Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai but remained determined to find a top-notch replacement for Fabinho in the heart of their midfield.
Their pursuit led them to aggressively pursue Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, although both players opted to join Premier League rivals Chelsea instead. According to AS, Liverpool even made a bold £100 million bid for Newcastle’s Guimaraes with only a few days left in the summer transfer window. However, the Magpies stood firm in their decision to reject the offer, considering the Brazilian midfielder to be a crucial part of their squad.
Newcastle’s return to the Champions League after more than two decades, under the leadership of Eddie Howe, makes it highly unlikely that they would allow a key player like Guimaraes to leave St. James’ Park.
