PSG make Bruno Guimaraes their top target for January but face two problems trying to land Newcastle midfielder

Coupe de France

Lyon

Paris Saint-Germain

The French giants have made the Brazilian midfielder their top target for the January transfer window, ESPN reports, but signing him will be no easy task. The 26-year-old is one of Newcastle's most valuable players and agreed to sign a new contract until 2028. PSG would have to match the release clause that Newcastle added to the new deal, which is reported to be around £100 million ($127m).Another issue that could hinder PSG's hopes of getting a deal over the line is the rivalry between the team's Qatari owners and the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund which took control of Newcastle in 2021. However, the relationship between the two nations is said to have improved since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

WHAT HAPPENED?

One factor that could work in PSG's favour, however, is their relationship with Bruno Guimaraes' agent Giuliano Bertulucci. He has already conducted business with the club recently, seeing his clients Lucas Beraldo and midfielder Gabriel Moscardo head to the French capital.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Newcastle signed Bruno Guimaraes from Lyon in January 2022 after enjoying two strong years at the French club. He is a pivotal player for Eddie Howe's Magpies, having made 28 appearances for the club in all competitions this season, scoring one goal along the way.

DID YOU KNOW?

The defensive midfielder will likely be involved when Newcastle meet local rivals Sunderland in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday, while PSG may look for a way to lure him back to Ligue 1 by entering talks with the St James' Park.
