Newcastle Shut Down Chelsea’s Chase for 24-Year-Old Midfield Maestro Bruno Guimarães
Newcastle United have made their stance clear: Bruno Guimarães is going nowhere.
The Magpies have reportedly rebuffed Chelsea’s growing interest in the 24-year-old Brazilian star, despite heavy monitoring from several European giants.
Guimarães, who arrived from Lyon for £40 million in January, has quickly cemented his place as one of the Premier League’s standout midfielders.
His composure, creativity, and grit have transformed Newcastle’s midfield and drawn admiration across England and beyond.
Why Is Bruno Guimarães in Such High Demand?
The Brazilian international is the full package.
In just 27 Premier League appearances, Guimarães has tallied seven goals and three assists, anchoring Newcastle’s surge to the top four.
His ability to dictate tempo, intercept play, and initiate attacks has made him indispensable.
Stats don’t lie; Newcastle’s win rate drops from 58% to 21% when he isn’t on the pitch.
It’s no wonder Chelsea, Real Madrid, and others are circling.
“I always dreamed of playing in the Premier League, but honestly, I never thought it could be this good,” Bruno admitted. “I feel like a Geordie now. I want to become a legend here.”
Chelsea’s Midfield Dilemma
Chelsea are in the market for fresh midfield talent with contracts for N’Golo Kanté and Jorginho winding down.
Though the Blues have Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice on their radar, Guimarães has emerged as a top-tier alternative.
Sources suggest Chelsea made initial inquiries after learning Real Madrid was also scouting the player. But Newcastle isn’t entertaining offers.
In fact, reports indicate the Magpies are planning a new contract worth £200k per week to keep their midfield general at St. James’ Park long-term.
Bruno’s Message Is Crystal Clear
Despite the buzz around his future, Bruno remains grounded.
He recently expressed full commitment to Newcastle and his ambition to make history with the club:
“To change countries and leagues in a World Cup year was tough, but I made the right choice. I’m proud of what I’m doing here. I’m not thinking about leaving, my focus is on Newcastle and the World Cup.”
His love for the club, its fans, and the city suggests a transfer won’t be happening anytime soon.
Bruno Guimarães | Key Stats This Season

Will Newcastle Keep Bruno Long-Term?
With Newcastle offering a bumper new deal and Bruno publicly stating his loyalty, Chelsea and Madrid may need to look elsewhere.
Unless a jaw-dropping bid changes the narrative, the Geordie faithful can rest easy, for now.
