It was clearly not an expected start for the winter transfer window, and yet, that is where Bruno Guimarães is headed. Yesterday, The Team revealed the existence of a €40m offer from Newcastle for the Brazilian midfielder from Olympique Lyonnais. In the evening, Globe Sports assured that the proposal had been accepted by the Rhone club.
It remained to know the feeling of the 24-year-old player, who did not expect to change his tune during the season. However, according to The Athletic, a medical visit has been scheduled by Newcastle in the coming hours. Medical visit which will take place in Brazil since Bruno Guimarães has joined his selection to face Ecuador and Paraguay.
OL have resigned themselves
In addition, according to our information, Olympique Lyonnais has started looking for a replacement for its Brazilian, who was an indisputable starter in the eyes of Peter Bosz. More than ever, a departure is on the agenda… A departure which will necessarily be explained by the economic data with regard to the offer made by Newcastle.
This will not delight Rhone supporters, who have already seen Sardar Azmoun, a priority target, slip away from them, and who are waiting for significant reinforcements to raise the bar in the Ligue 1 standings. OL may be able to get busy on a good file by next Monday…
