Newcastle close the exit door on Guimaraes

Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is on several clubs' agenda such as Liverpool, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona.

The player is not standing out this season but Newcastle are not considering his departure. According to 'London Evening Standard', he is a key player at the St. James' Park.

Newcastle are planning to extend the Brazil international contract. In fact, the board is willing to raise his salary to ten million euros per year and make him the highest paid player in the squad.

Guimaraes is a great box-to-box player and a very good dribbler and goalscorer but he is showing weaknesses in aerial duels and little presence in the area.
