Barca have hopes set on Guimaraes

Barcelona are imagining a future with Bruno Guimaraes. Xavi wants to up his side's level, especially considering Sergio Busquets won't be there next term.

'The Times' reported on Sunday that the Spanish side are dreaming big with Newcastle's Brazilian midfielder. However, the move is looking more like 'Mission Impossible' than a reality.

Barcelona think they will need around €100 million to get the 25 year old player on board, due to the fact that the Magpies will be playing in the Champions League next season.

However, it is worth remebering that 'Financial Fair Play' rules are threatening Barca's options. Joan Laporta is thought to therefore need a lot of financial wiggle room, and to significantly reduce the wage bill to try and get the transfer done.

Bruno Guimaraes has got 5 goals and 5 assists this season, forming a key part of Eddie Howe's midfield. The side from Tyne and Wear wave goodbye to a successful season this Sunday against Chelsea.
