Bruno Guimaraes ‘confirms’ major Newcastle United news v Sheffield United

Bruno Guimaraes appeared to confirm his new Newcastle United contract during yesterday’s record-breaking 8-0 victory at Sheffield United.

The Magpies recorded their largest-ever away league victory and also became the first Premier League club to have eight different scorers in a game.

Guimaraes added Newcastle’s seventh and celebrated in front of the travelling Geordies by putting the ball underneath his shirt after he and his partner Ana announced they expecting their second child.

And in the same celebration, the Brazilian appeared to point to the ground and say “I’m ------- staying!” before kissing the badge on his shirt.

The moment was captured by The Magpie Channel.

On Saturday, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed Guimaraes had agreed a new deal on Tyneside until 2028, which includes a release clause in excess of £100million,

However, Magpies’ head coach Eddie Howe stayed tight-lipped over Guimaraes’ proposed new contract. Asked about the midfielder’s situation after the game, Howe said: “Everything has been going on away from me, I’ve just been focusing on the game.”

Guimaraes has previously revealed his desire to remain on Tyneside.

“I feel at home here,” Guimaraes said last season. “I’m very happy to be here to be playing and be part of this giant club’s story. For me it’s important and everyone knows how much I like the club, the fans, the support. For me, it’s like having something to remember my country [Brazil].”
