“Newcastle’s DESPERATE £1MILLION-A-WEEK Mega-Deal to Lock Down Star Before Saudi BILLIONS Swoop In!”
Newcastle United have reportedly offered a lucrative new contract to one of their key players as they look to fend off growing interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.
The Magpies have enjoyed significant progress on and off the pitch in recent years under Eddie Howe’s leadership, but their success has also been shaped by strong decision-making behind the scenes.
This week, Ross Wilson was officially appointed as Newcastle’s new sporting director, succeeding Paul Mitchell. Speaking after his appointment, Wilson expressed his excitement at joining the club.
“I’m absolutely delighted to be here at Newcastle United,” he said.
“This is such a special club, and I fully understand the passion, ambition and expectations of our incredible supporters, as well as the ownership’s determination to keep developing and strengthening the team.
“My conversations with ownership have been extremely positive, and I’ve been in regular contact with Eddie Howe and David Hopkinson.
The trust, cohesion and alignment we’re building already feel strong, and I believe unity will be key as we move the club forward together.
I’m excited to work with everyone across all football departments.”
While Wilson settles into his role, Newcastle are also focusing on retaining their top talent, with fresh reports revealing that the club have offered Bruno Guimarães a long-term deal running until the summer of 2030.
According to UOL, via Sport Witness, the Magpies want to ensure the Brazilian midfielder remains central to their project for years to come.
Aware of potential interest from Saudi clubs, Newcastle’s hierarchy are determined to secure Bruno’s future early, viewing him as a cornerstone of Howe’s team.
The 27-year-old, currently earning £160,000 per week, has been instrumental since arriving at St James’ Park, bringing both creativity and drive to the midfield.
His influence was on full display during last weekend’s 2-0 Premier League victory over Nottingham Forest, where he scored a superb goal.
After the match, Howe praised his star man, saying: “I thought we had control of the second half and needed a moment of brilliance.
Bruno’s goal was a moment of magic from an unbelievable player. He makes a difference more often than not.”
At the peak of his powers, Bruno remains a crucial figure in Newcastle’s push for long-term success.
Securing his signature on an extended contract would not only underline the club’s ambition but also strengthen their position should future offers arise, allowing them to demand a premium for one of their most prized assets.
