As the summer transfer window approaches, **Bruno Guimarães** has become one of the most in-demand midfielders in the Premier League. The **Newcastle United** star is being tracked by **Manchester City**, **Liverpool**, and **Arsenal**, all of whom are keen to secure his signature.
### Why the Interest?
Bruno had an **outstanding season** for Newcastle, playing **50 games**, scoring **7 goals**, and providing **10 assists**. He’s been a key player under manager **Eddie Howe**, and his strong performances haven’t gone unnoticed.
After Newcastle’s last home game, the 26-year-old was seen looking **emotional**, which sparked rumors that he might be leaving the club this summer.
### Manchester City Leading the Race
According to reports from *AS*, **Manchester City** have already **held talks with Guimarães’ agents**, putting them slightly ahead in the race. However, they **haven’t made an official offer yet**.
### Liverpool & Arsenal Still Watching
**Liverpool** and **Arsenal** are still closely **monitoring the situation**. Liverpool, in particular, may view Bruno as a **perfect replacement for Thiago Alcântara**, who is set to leave when his contract expires. With Liverpool rebuilding under Arne Slot, Bruno could bring the control, energy, and creativity needed in midfield.
### Meanwhile: Lloyd Kelly to Newcastle
Elsewhere, **Fabrizio Romano** has confirmed that **Lloyd Kelly**, another player linked with Liverpool, will **join Newcastle**. Despite a season affected by injury, his free-agent status attracted many top clubs. But in the end, he chose to **reunite with Eddie Howe**, his former manager at Bournemouth.
### What’s Next?
The transfer window is about to open, and with several big clubs circling, **Guimarães’ future** could be decided soon. Newcastle will try to hold on to him, but the pull of Champions League football and title challenges from clubs like City, Arsenal, and Liverpool might be too strong to resist.
