Barcelona ‘identify’ Everton star as Bruno Guimaraes ‘alternative’ amid Newcastle United links

Barcelona ‘eye’ Everton star as Bruno Guimaraes ‘alternative’

Barcelona have reportedly identified Everton midfielder Amadou Onana as a potential alternative to Bruno Guimaraes this summer after being priced out of a move for the Brazilian. Barcelona have been interested in Guimaraes for a while now, but their current financial situation and Guimaraes’ £100m release clause means a move would not be feasible in the current market conditions.

Therefore, reports from Sport in Spain suggest that Barcelona could turn their attention towards Onana instead. The 22-year-old would be a cheaper option than Guimaraes, however, he is still likely to cost around £50m if Everton remain in the Premier League.

Newcastle United have recently been linked with a move for the midfielder and whilst PSR and FFP constraints meant they couldn’t afford him during the winter window, they have been tipped to reignite their interest once the summer transfer window opens.
