Bruno Guimaraes has helped turn Newcastle into contenders

Barcelona are keen to sign Newcastle playmaker Bruno Guimaraes this summer.

The 10-cap Brazilian maestro has been at the heart of Toon's incredible season, which saw Eddie Howe return them to the Champions League.

And The Times claim his performances have caught the eye of Barca, who reportedly believe Magpies chiefs value their star at £87million.

That fee would pose a problem for the cash-strapped Catalans but Newcastle have been linked with Raphinha, giving them a potential makeweight to sweeten the deal.

Guimaraes, 25, joined the Magpies in a move worth around £40m in January 2022 and has established himself as one of the best playmakers in the Premier League.

He boasts nine goals and six assists in 49 top-flight matches since arriving from Lyon and has become a firm fan favourite.

Howe is set to strengthen his side and Football Insider claim he will raid relegated Leicester for James Maddison and Harvey Barnes.

Barca, meanwhile, have their hearts set on bringing Lionel Messi back to the club after his relationship with Paris Saint-Germain soured.
