Guimarães, a golden cycle in Newcastle

Matthias Jaissle, the new head coach of Newcastle, confirmed that Bruno Guimaraes' future was already decided before his arrival. "I got to know him quickly, but the decision had already been made," he said. The Brazilian, who arrived in 2022 from Lyon, played 195 matches, scored 31 goals, and provided 31 assists. Additionally, he was the captain in the historic conquest of the first domestic title in 70 years. Now, the international and English press indicate that he will continue his career at Arsenal for a figure close to 75 million pounds.

Jaissle confirms the decision made

Guimarães' departure adds to other significant exits such as Alexander Isak to Liverpool, Anthony Gordon to Barcelona, and Sandro Tonali to Tottenham. In parallel, reinforcements like Ewen Jaouen and Sean Steur arrived. Jaissle, successor to Eddie Howe, acknowledged that the moment is difficult but also an opportunity: "Great players, club legends, have left, but we must see it as an opportunity. Control the controllable, he used to say, and I'm sure there will be progress this season."

An inevitable reconstruction at the Magpies

Newcastle begins a new phase marked by renewal. The management is betting on the new signings to settle in and for Jaissle to leave his mark on a team that finished 12th in the last Premier League. The departure of Guimaraes, along with other key players, necessitates a profound change, but it also opens up the possibility of building a fresh and competitive project.
