Bruno Guimarães, the Brazilian midfielder for Newcastle United, has reaffirmed his devotion to the club by signing a new five-year deal that extends his tenure at St James’ Park until 2028. This contract shows both his critical role in the team’s success and Newcastle’s desire to retain important players for the long term. ([BBC][1])
Guimarães, who joined Newcastle from Lyon in January 2022, has played a key role in the club’s revival under manager Eddie Howe. His performances helped Newcastle finish in the top four of the Premier League and return to the Champions League after a 20-year absence. He ran 423 kilometers in 37 Premier League matches during the 2023-24 season, the most of any player. [The Guardian][2], [BBC][3], and [Wikipedia][4]
In August 2024, Guimarães was named Newcastle’s captain, joining a leadership group that includes Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier, Jamaal Lascelles, and Callum Wilson. His leadership culminated in March 2025, when he became the first Newcastle captain in 70 years to win a domestic trophy, leading the team to a Carabao Cup final triumph over Liverpool.

Guimarães’ new contract has not been officially published. However, sources indicate that contract has a £100 million release clause, which may only apply to teams outside of the Premier League. This provision gives a possible departure strategy if a foreign club meets the specified fee. ([Telegraph][5])
