Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, has acknowledged the existence of a £100m release clause in midfielder Bruno Guimaraes' contract, which is set to expire on June 30. This clause allows other clubs to meet the release amount until the specified date, after which Newcastle can reject such offers. Howe expressed his desire to keep Guimaraes and build the team around him, despite acknowledging that the club isn't in full control of the situation. The clause's expiry coincides with the PSR deadline, potentially benefiting Newcastle in retaining the player amidst interest from major clubs like Manchester City, PSG, and Arsenal.
