While Olympique Lyonnais and Newcastle continue to negotiate his transfer, Bruno Guimaraes has let his agents know that he would agree to leave for England in the event of an agreement between the two clubs.
Guimaraes agrees to leave Lyon
Will Bruno Guimaraes (24) leave Olympique Lyonnais before January 31? Although OL denied on Wednesday having reached an agreement with Newcastle for the transfer of their midfielder, the operation remains possible and the two clubs are continuing to negotiate.
As mentioned since Tuesday, the English team offered 40 million euros to Lyon. An amount that seems to suit the Lyon management. Because, despite his desire to keep the Brazilian for another six months before offering him an exit voucher next summer, the Rhone club is well aware that such an offer is difficult to refuse in the current economic context.
One last detail to settle?
For the time being, the discussions are blocked on the terms of payment. Newcastle want to spread the transfer payment over 5 years, a condition that does not suit OL. At first glance, this obstacle does not seem insurmountable. There is therefore a good chance of seeing Guimaraes leave for England by the end of the winter transfer window, two years after his arrival in France for €20m from Athletico Paranaense.
A hypothesis reinforced by the fact that the Brazilian international has agreed to join Newcastle, announce L’Equipe and RMC Sport. He let his agents know that he was ready to pack his bags if the two clubs could reach an agreement. Despite the complicated situation of the Toons, 18th in the Premier League, the Auriverde seems to want to take the plunge and discover a new challenge in England. Where he could quadruple his current salary (220,000 euros monthly). It’s definitely tempting…
