Newcastle to sell star player as PSG, Real Madrid line up bids

The Magpies are facing pressure to offload a key player to adhere to profit and sustainability regulations following years of lavish spending under their Saudi-led ownership.

Guimaraes might be the player to be let go despite his stellar contributions since joining from Lyon in 2022.

His impressive displays have caught the attention of several top European clubs, with Real Madrid and PSG identified as leading contenders for his signature.

According to Football Insider, the 26-year-old has a release clause of £100million which, if triggered, would allow Eddie Howe to boost other areas of the squad.

Newcastle have had a disappointing season by the lofty standards they set last year, but will be hoping to end the campaign on a high.
