'Point out' - Bruno Guimaraes' agent hits out at Newcastle United exit talk in blunt 36-word message

The agent of Bruno Guimaraes has fired back at suggestions his latest trip to Paris is in relation to the Newcastle United midfielder’s future.

Guimaraes has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain and those rumours were heightened when his agent, Alexis Malavolta, was in attendance at the Parc des Prince for their Ligue 1 clash against Rennes earlier this month.

Malavolta is back in France this weekend but has issued a reassuring message to concerned Newcastle fans.

He posted on X: “Good morning. I would like to point out that I am in Paris for private and family reasons and not for work. please respect and don't make up stories. Bruno is very happy in Newcastle. THANKS!”

Both Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe and the player himself as been quizzed on his future in recent weeks.

“I hope to stay much longer. I don't know what the future brings let's see, but I hope to play much more for Newcastle United,” the Brazilian said after scoring the winner at Fulham last week.

Meanwhile, Howe added: "No I wouldn't say that is a conversation we are having. He has got a contract, a long contract, signed a new deal this season. When a player does that he commits himself to you for a number of years.”

Guimaraes is under contract at St James’ Park until 2028 but has a release clause in excess of £100million. The fans’ favourite recently made his 100th appearance after joining from Lyon for £35million two years ago.
