Bruno Guimaraes shares Newcastle training ground update after shock loss
Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes sent a message to fans as the team prepares for their upcoming Premier League match against Southampton.
The 27-year-old was the lone scorer in Newcastle’s humbling 4-1 defeat to Bournemouth on 18 January. Guimaraes cancelled out Justin Kluivert’s first of three goals at St James’ Park with a well-taken header in the 25th minute.
However, the Magpies were unable to respond to Kluivert’s subsequent goals, and Milos Kerkez sealed the victory for the Cherries with an impressive solo effort from left-back.
After the disappointing defeat, Guimaraes shared a heartfelt message with fans. Now, as the team focuses on their next challenge, the Brazilian midfielder has once again taken to Instagram.
He reshared a photo of himself from Newcastle’s official account, captioning the post with “39” followed by black and white heart emojis.
Newcastle set to keep Bruno Guimaraes amid speculation
Guimaraes has been pivotal for Eddie Howe’s Newcastle side throughout the season. The Brazilian midfielder has started 23 of his 27 appearances across all competitions, contributing two goals and eight assists.
The recent 4-1 defeat to Bournemouth marked Newcastle’s first loss in nine games across all competitions and saw the Magpies drop to sixth in the Premier League table.
Guimaraes’ impact on the team is undeniable. When he is in top form, Newcastle often dominates matches. He has been directly involved in seven goals during the team’s last ten outings, underscoring his importance to their European ambitions.
Despite persistent transfer links to Manchester City, Newcastle appears to have fended off interest, at least for now.
Football Insider Verdict
Since his £40 million transfer from Lyon nearly three years ago [Sky Sports], Guimaraes has cemented himself as a fan favourite on Tyneside.
While City remain interested, any deal for the Brazilian is highly unlikely during the January transfer window.
However, Newcastle’s financial restrictions in recent windows may force the club to consider player sales to raise funds in the future.
Regardless of external speculation, Guimaraes continues to display his passion for the Newcastle badge. As the Magpies gear up for another push towards European football, he remains crucial.
