The journalist mentions that the final details still need to be agreed upon. However, Romano also reiterates that an agreement between the Brazilian midfielder and Newcastle is now on the verge of being completed.
The update from Romano will undoubtedly be like music to the ears of the Magpies faithful. Eddie Howe’s side had a solid summer transfer window, signing a new midfielder in Sandro Tonali and promising youngsters like Harvey Barnes and Lewis Hall.
What Has Guimaraes Achieved at Newcastle So Far?
The 25-year-old joined Newcastle in January 2022 after enjoying a solid spell in Ligue 1 with Olympique Lyonnais. Since moving to England, he has become a fan favourite with the Magpies’ supporters with his impressive performances. He has made 61 appearances for Howe’s side since joining them, scoring ten goals and providing six assists.

His stats from last season included nine goal contributions in 32 Premier League appearances, helping them achieve a top-4 finish and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League after a two-decade absence. The Brazilian has won over the fans with his admirable work in midfield, where he thrives in winning possession and moving the ball forward. The 25-year-old was hailed as “magnificent” by Alan Shearer last season and appears to be open to signing a new deal with the Magpies and helping his side compete for major trophies.
