After weeks of rumors, hints that he would go, leaks of the revised conditions of his contract, and so on and so forth…
Bruno Guimaraes, a midfielder for Brazil, signed a new five-year contract with Newcastle United on Saturday, only 24 hours before the club’s Premier League match against West Ham. The new deal keeps Guimaraes at St. James’ Park through 2028.
Bruno joined the Premier League team in January 2022 from Ligue 1 side Lyon, choosing to leave the team that was then in the Champions League in favor of joining one that was potentially facing relegation. What changes there have been…
Even though it took him some time to become used to the British style and assume control of the Magpies midfield, Bruno was crucial in guiding the team out of the relegation zone in his first season.
Bruno managed the English Premier League last season when Newcastle secured a remarkable fourth place and secured their participation in the Champions League for the first time in 20 years. However, Bruno ultimately led the way toward staying in the English top-flight division back then under Eddie Howe’s mastery.
Bruno started the week as the MVP of the recent historic 4-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain (Bruno’s 67th appearance for Newcastle United), and he’s now capping it—pending getting another W in London tomorrow—with this new gargantuan deal. This is the icing on the cake of this fairytale.
Bruno expressed his excitement in front of NUFC.tv, saying, “I’m absolutely delighted.”
“The fans have made me feel at home since my first day here, and I feel so loved in my life,” the Brazilian continued. I have experienced the greatest level of fan affection here.
“I’m delighted to get Bruno signed and committed to the long-term future of the football club,” Howe said in a statement. He is such a crucial player, and he has excelled ever since he joined the team.
According to Howe, “He’s been a key signing for us—the type of signing that we want to make.”
