Manchester City have work to do in the transfer window. It's been a slow start with Euro 2024 a distraction, among other things, but there is still plenty time.
£100m offer, Newcastle FFP deadline, Man City release clause stance - Bruno Guimaraes transfer truth
13.06.2024 - 11:51 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
There was a brief flurry of excitement on social media on Wednesday night as a suggestion emerged of a submitted offer for Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Manchester City.
As it happened, the so-called 'in the know' accounts didn't quite have their facts right. Time is running out, however, for any interested club to trigger a lucrative release clause in Guimaraes' contract, along with an imminent Financial Fair Play deadline which could force Newcastle to sell players before the end of the month.
The futures of City midfielders Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva are up in the air this summer, adding to the urgency to sign a new creative midfielder to future-proof the centre of the park.

If Guimarares, 26, is the target - and he would certainly fit the mould of a Pep Guardiola midfielder - he wouldn't come cheap. Chronicle Live report that his £100m release clause in his contract can be activated until June 24, hence the speculation of a City bid at this point of the summer.
City have a history of utilising release clauses for players, therefore avoiding protracted bidding wars or costly negotiations. Whether they feel Guimaraes is worth nine figures remains to be seen, with his value then up to Newcastle. That could represent a saving on £100m, or may end up being more. They would definitely be reluctant to sell and have more power without an active release clause.
Another factor could be the June 20 deadline for clubs to submit their Profit and Sustainability Rules accounts, as part of the wider Financial Fair Play
