Bruno Guimaraes to Manchester City might be on the cards – “keep an eye on this, it could be huge.”

Manchester City may attempt to challenge Newcastle’s stance with a bid for Bruno Guimarães during the January transfer window.

Speaking on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson highlighted City’s active search for midfield reinforcements, with the 27-year-old Brazilian being a key target for Pep Guardiola. Robinson noted City’s strong financial position, bolstered by the £81 million sale of Julián Álvarez to Atlético Madrid in the summer, which could support a high-profile signing in the upcoming window.

Guimarães has long been on Guardiola’s radar, and Robinson believes City could act soon to bolster their squad. However, Newcastle are reportedly reluctant to part with key players like Guimarães, Alexander Isak, and Sandro Tonali. Instead, they may seek to address Financial Fair Play concerns by offloading fringe players such as Miguel Almirón and Kieran Trippier.

Robinson emphasized that City’s interest in Guimarães could test Newcastle’s resolve, particularly given the midfielder’s release clause. He described the situation as “one to watch” as January approaches, with City’s financial strength making a potential deal feas
