With Casemiro leaving for Manchester United almost a reality, Real Madrid are already thinking about how to replace him. And among the names that arise among locals and strangers, one of them is his Bruno Guimaraesa young Brazilian from Newcastle (he is 24 years old) for whom the English club paid almost 50 million euros last January.

What is Guimard’s contract like?oneis he with newcastle? Tenure and salary

Guimaraes is a recent signing from English powerhouse Newcastle. He only arrived in January 2022 and the English club signed him to a contract until 2026, for four and a half seasons. With that in mind and the half a hundred million the club paid, it’s clear that it won’t be cheap at all if White House intends to include it.

Furthermore, according to information from ESPN UK, the Brazilian signed for £120,000 per week, i.e. 6,240,000 pounds per year — more than 7 million 300 thousand euros —number which is approx the quadruple of those won at the Olympic Lyon.

Who is Bruno Guimar and how does he play?ães?

Considering the characteristics of the midfielders that Real Madrid currently have, The intention of incorporating a player like Guimaraes makes a lot of sense.

This young Brazilian born in Rio de Janeiro in 1997, He made his debut at Audax São Paulo at the age of 17 and then moved to Paranaense, with whom he won a Brazilian Cup and a South American Cup. from there he went to Lyon, in mid-2019.

And finally, although he was mentioned to Arsenal, Juventus and Roma (among others), he was the star signing of this new would-be small club that went big, as Manchester City did for example.

And he understood it this way as soon as he arrived in England: “Aguero, Yaya Toure and Silva dedicated themselves to the history of the club because they bet on the project from the beginning”explained after accepting his proposal magpies that, in addition to allowing him to play in a league like the Premier, he had his share of risk: he went from a team almost guaranteed to be in the Champions League to a team fighting for relegation.

He immediately justified the investment, taking a place in the starting line-up and winning the hearts of the fans with good performances and even goals, which is far from one of his strong points. Even so, in 17 Premier matches he scored 5 times (for context, in his entire career he had 10).

A curious fact: he usually wears jersey 39 in honor of his father, who drove a taxi with that number.

Apart from his late position on the pitch, he is a very technical footballer, with a good foot and a regular initiator of attacks. And while he’s not a cutting machine dedicated to ruining other people’s games (he’s some defensive midfielder from Europe’s top clubs, really?), he clearly occupies that position, unlike some of the players Madrid currently have.

In the 2021-2022 season (remember he played half in Lyon and half in Newcastle) Guimaraes attempted more tackles than Casemiro and Tswameni, to a similar extent in the final defensive third of the pitch but more often in higher areas of the pitch, interesting when you consider a top Madrid. Of course: he was not as successful against the opposition dribbling or pressing: his success rate was less than 40% in both cases, while Casemiro did not fall below that rate. In any case, it is something in which context cannot be omitted. while Casemiro played for the European champions, his compatriot ended the campaign fighting relegation.

Nonetheless, it was much more dangerous that both in creating goal-scoring options with their passing (145 actions that created chances compared to 63 and 70 for Casemiro and Tzuameini, respectively) and with their 5 goals and 4 assists they surpassed the Brazilian from Madrid (1 and 3) and the French former Monaco (3 and 2).
