During the transfer window, there is always one crazy swap deal that catches people’s attention. Manchester City may now have to go outside the box in their pursuit of acquiring one of the top midfield players in the Premier League. In recent months, there has been constant discussion about Bruno Guimaraes’ potential transfer from Newcastle United to other teams. However, the Magpies have remained steadfast in their value of £100 million for the Brazil international.
The Premier League winners’ willingness to offer one of their best young players on loan as a sweetener could break the transfer deadlock. According to the Daily Star, City is hesitant to meet Newcastle’s £100 million asking price for the midfielder, valuing him closer to £80 million.
According to a report, City is prepared to help facilitate a deal by loaning either Rico Lewis or Oscar Bobb to the Magpies for the upcoming season. Newcastle is reportedly interested in both players.

Ever since his January 2022 arrival, Bruno Guimaraes has played a pivotal role in Newcastle’s remarkable performances. With 17 goals and 16 assists in 107 games, his contributions have been crucial, and Eddie Howe has found him to be a priceless asset. But with Newcastle missing out on Europe the previous season, there has been further conjecture on Guimaraes’ future.
The two young players being considered for a Newcastle loan are Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb. Lewis is adaptable enough to play as a defensive midfielder or right-back, providing useful backup in numerous positions. Lewis made 27 appearances for City in the previous year. Oscar Bobb is a talented winger who scored the game-winning goal against Newcastle in the final seconds of the previous campaign.
