Liverpool would be looking to bolster their midfield in anticipation of the upcoming Premier League 2024/2025 season. The English outfit ended their last season’s league campaign in the 3rd position despite leading the table for the majority of last season. A position that almost seemed like an underachievement despite winning the Carabao Cup trophy.
To improve and mitigate their last season’s league positions, Liverpool is now looking at Newcastle’s Midfielder Bruno Guimares to improve upon an already worthy profile of midfielders.
Signing Bruno Guimares who is rumored to be unsatisfied with Newcastle’s upcoming non-European season would not be easy as Liverpool needs to fight off interests from Man United and Arsenal to secure his services for Arne Slot’s Reds.
Liverpool’s Chances at Signing Bruno Guimares

It mostly would depend on the perspective Liverpool’s negotiating agents use whilst negotiating with him. But some factors that would convince him are:
European Football: Since Newcastle’s European dream vanished after Man United’s FA Cup victory against Man City, A chance of being in a team with a guaranteed probability of European football might be convincing enough.
Trophy-winning Chances: While most club owners’ objectives are based on the profits they make off their clubs, football players cherish the amount of achievements claimed over the span of their careers. Bruno who has not won a single in his European career would likely feel the most enthusiastic at the probability of ending his trophy drought.

Factor That Could Dissuade Liverpool’s Pursuit of Bruno Guimares

As Liverpool is trying to bolster their midfield, they usually take critical care to keep within a budget that doesn’t violate some of their set principles. Therefore, some of these factors could dissuade them from continuing their pursuit of Bruno Guimares:
£100 million release clause: It is anticipated that Bruno had a £100 million release clause inserted into his Newcastle contracts when he renewed it last year. And Liverpool being a club that keeps a moderate transfer budget would likely not want about 100 million pounds of their budget to delve into a single player.
Bruno’s Attitude: Though a player known for a rough style of play and a bit of shitousery, Bruno has been incredibly respectful to his club despite every flagrant rumor for clubs wanting to sway him away from Newcastle. Perhaps his commitment to the clubs suggests he is content with the club.
Other Clubs in the Race to Sign Bruno Guimares

Some of the other clubs interested in Bruno Guimares are:
Arsenal: After narrowly missing out on a premier league triumph to Manchester City, Arsenal are gearing up to better their last season’s finish and they believe Bruno would be a perfect replacement for injury-prone Thomas Partey.
Manchester United: After taking them out of next season’s European football, Man United is hoping to also price away their star player Bruno Guimares, to replace an aging and injury-prone Casimero. Having spent over £1 billion in over seven transfer windows, United could be the club that might trigger Bruno’s £100 million release clause before June 30.
