Magpies Make Power Play, Appoint Guimaraes as Captain
In a shock move that has sent ripples through the Premier League, Newcastle United have firmly slammed the door on potential suitors for midfield maestro Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazilian has been handed the captain’s armband, a clear statement of intent that the club has no intention of selling their prized asset.
Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City had all been circling the 26-year-old, desperate to bolster their midfield options. But Newcastle’s bold decision to make Guimaraes their new leader has effectively ended any hopes of a transfer this summer.
The news will come as a huge blow to the three giants, who were prepared to splash out big money to land the talented midfielder. Newcastle fans, however, will be ecstatic at the prospect of keeping their star man at St James’ Park.
