In an exciting EFL Cup last 8 clash, Manchester City beat Newcastle and not only gained the victory, but also became interested in the soul player of the Magpies - Nou Goumares. According to Spanish newspaper As, there is a £100 million (HK$1 billion) release clause hidden in Nuguemares' contract. Manchester City have already begun making contact with the Brazilian player's representatives, with plans to bring the regular midfielder into the fold when the summer transfer window opens.
The 26-year-old Bono Gumarez extended his contract with Newcastle until 2028 at the beginning of the season, with a £100 million release clause included in the contract, which is a reasonable price for a midfielder in the current midfield market. He has played 96 games for Newcastle, scoring 13 goals and contributing 13 assists, and is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.
Manchester City's acquisition program for the midfield is imperative and Nuguemarez is naturally their top target. Options include Gonzalez and Douglas Reyes. Leader Godiona also spoke highly of Nugu Mares: "He is an excellent midfielder, calm and aggressive on the field, and is undoubtedly a core player for Newcastle." In addition to City, Liverpool and Chelsea are also reportedly eyeing Nugumarez. Therefore, City need to act quickly to win this midfield battle with a pre-emptive strategy.
