Real Madrid are targeting Newcastle United player

It is not very often that you see Real Madrid being linked with Newcastle United players, but that is exactly the news that is doing the rounds of the rumour mill at the moment. And it must be said that The Magpies have impressed immensely under the management of Eddie Howe in recent months, climbing up the Premier League table rapidly and they are one of the most in-form teams in Europe right now.

While Howe deserves a lot of credit for this turnaround in form, so do the players, especially those who arrived in January and have had an incredible impact already.

One player who has been impressing a lot with his recent performances is Bruno Guimaraes, who was signed from Lyon in January in a club record transfer and is looking like a player that they can build their midfield around.

As reported by AS, Real Madrid considers Guimaraes as one of the future prospects. The Spanish giants are expected to freshen up their midfield soon with several of their key players in the middle of the park past their 30th birthday.

Real Madrid are believed to have an eye on the Newcastle United star

It still feels like very early days for Guimaraes at Newcastle United and he still seems to be adjusting to the English game, his new surroundings and teammates.

He has already put in some big performances though and it will be very interesting to see how he can do from next season, when he will have some experience of Premier League football under his belt already.

Guimaraes has already expressed his happiness at being at Newcastle United in interviews and it is hard to imagine him leaving anytime in the near future. But at the same time, if Real Madrid come knocking, there are very few players in the world who would not consider it.

It will be very interesting to see if Real Madrid do indeed make a move for Guimaraes. Newcastle United will be hoping that he remains at St James’ Park for years to come.
