£100m player Man City keen on signing will not leave his club, Sky reporter suggests

Pete Graves, a correspondent for Sky Sports, has speculated that a purported target of Manchester City will remain with the club through the summer.

Manchester City would prefer to avoid a summer transfer window comparable to the one in 2023, during which they were rejected by players including Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham.

The majority of clubs have contingency objectives established in the event that the primary players they intend to acquire do not ultimately commit.

According to a report on Wednesday, Manchester City are the heavy favorites to acquire Bruno Guimaraes this summer.

Despite the declaration made on Monday that City had no intention of contributing £100 million towards the release clause of the Brazilian.

Pete Graves stated on the Sky Sports Transfer Talk Podcast that Bruno Guimaraes has no intention of leaving Newcastle United despite rumors that he is being linked to Manchester City.

Graves stated, “I believe they must be intelligent.” “Listen, Newcastle supporters, I have no qualms whatsoever regarding the departure of Bruno Guimaraes or Alexander Isak from the club.”

“It is my conviction that they will salute the season’s inaugural contest donning black and white shirts.” Bruno’s contract contains a £100 million release clause that must be activated; however, he would be reluctant to discuss the matter with the club that does so. Everything I hear from him and his father is adored by the entire family.”

It will be impossible for Manchester City to negotiate a deal with Newcastle to acquire Bruno Guimaraes if Pete Graves’s prediction comes true.

The final determination rests with Guimaraes.

At the age of 26, the highly-regarded midfielder has reached the pinnacle of his profession. At this juncture, the player is confronted with the decision of whether his immediate objectives are to assist Newcastle in their progression as a club or to secure trophies for City.

If Guimaraes remains at the club due to his strong affinity for the Magpies, his loyalty will undoubtedly receive widespread acclaim.

However, concerns will be warranted regarding the former Lyon technician’s aspirations, given the rarity of opportunities to train under Pep Guardiola.

Bruno Guimaraes would undoubtedly be enticed to learn from the Catalan and contend for trophies alongside him should Manchester City persist in their pursuit of his services.
