Newcastle's Howe Determined to Retain Guimaraes Amidst Transfer Speculation

Eddie Howe is determined to keep Bruno Guimaraes at Newcastle for as long as possible, although he acknowledges the uncertainty of football. Guimaraes with a £100m release clause is highly coveted by clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.

Howe understands that Newcastle may eventually need to sell a key player to comply with Premier League regulations, and Guimaraes seems the most likely candidate. Despite intending to keep Guimaraes, Howe refrains from making guarantees, emphasizing the unpredictability of the sport.

To increase commercial revenue and avoid penalties, Newcastle plans to play friendlies in Australia after the Premier League season concludes, a decision Howe supports despite concerns about the physical strain on the squad.

Howe advises players to ignore social media criticism lacking intellectual merit and to focus on trusted opinions instead.
