‘Official’ – Bruno Guimaraes’ agent sends Newcastle United 3-word message about the midfielder’s future
Bruno Guimarães stands on the verge of etching his name deeper into Newcastle United folklore, with the Brazilian maestro just one victory away from captaining the Magpies in next season’s Champions League.
His latest heroic display in Sunday’s 2-0 triumph over Chelsea at St James’ Park not only strengthened Newcastle’s top-five push but further solidified his bond with the Geordie faithful.
The match began in electrifying fashion as Sandro Tonali broke the deadlock within two minutes, slotting home Jacob Murphy’s precision cross.
Chelsea’s hopes dwindled further when Nicolas Jackson saw red for an elbow on Sven Botman, though Eddie Howe’s side endured a tense second half before Guimarães sealed the points in stoppage time.
His deflected strike sparked wild celebrations, with the midfielder first pointing to his name on his shirt before scaling the advertising boards and brandishing the corner flag like a conquering hero.
This iconic moment has already been immortalized on social media, with fans hailing it as the latest chapter in Guimarães’ love affair with Tyneside.
His agent, Alexis Malavolta, amplified the sentiment by sharing the image with the caption: “Here is the official photo of his future statue at St James’ Park.” The remark echoed Malavolta’s post after February’s Carabao Cup triumph, where he declared Guimarães deserving of a statue for becoming “a legend for the rest of history.”
From Trophy Lifts to European Nights
Guimarães’ influence transcends match-winning goals. As the first Newcastle captain in 56 years to lift a major trophy at Wembley, he has rekindled the club’s winning mentality.
Now, with Arsenal and Everton remaining, a single victory would secure Champions League football—a prospect Guimarães acknowledged on Instagram: “What a special day! Thank you, my God, for everything. One very important step, two more in pursuit of our dreams.”
His passion resonates beyond the pitch. Whether hoisting the Carabao Cup or rallying supporters with corner-flag theatrics, Guimarães embodies Newcastle’s resurgence.
The club’s Saudi-backed project promised ambition, but the Brazilian’s leadership has accelerated their ascent, blending technical brilliance with unshakable commitment.
While Malavolta’s statue quips celebrate Guimarães’ legacy, they also inadvertently stir transfer rumors. Elite clubs have monitored the 26-year-old, yet his actions suggest a man invested in Newcastle’s journey.
His contract, extended until 2028, includes a £100 million release clause—a figure that reflects his worth to the Magpies’ present and future.
For now, the mission is clear: deliver Champions League football. Should Newcastle succeed, Guimarães’ legend will grow exponentially.
From relegation battles to European nights, his story mirrors the club’s transformation—a bond forged in triumph, destined for greater glory.
As St James’ Park prepares for a potentially historic finale, one truth is undeniable: Bruno Guimarães isn’t just building a legacy; he’s ensuring it lasts forever.
