Overview
- Fabrizio Romano said over the weekend that Manchester United met Bruno Guimaraes’ agents a few weeks ago and stressed the process is at an early stage.
- Eddie Howe called claims of discussions with another club disrespectful and said his captain remains committed as he focuses on returning to fitness.
- Romano added that the previously reported £100m release clause is no longer active, with Guimaraes under contract until 2028, and outlets cite fees ranging from about £60m to £100m.
- Fresh social media posts claim personal terms are agreed but lack independent confirmation, and the player’s agent posted a question mark as journalists warned the noise may reflect leverage in contract talks.
- United are weighing multiple midfield options after Casemiro’s confirmed exit, and Guimaraes’ recent hamstring layoff and reported mumps diagnosis could shape the timing of any formal move in the summer window.
