Journalist shares the TRUTH about Bruno Guimaraes to Liverpool link following £51m deal rejection

Since Martin Zubimendi chose not to accept a transfer to Liverpool, focus has shifted to possible substitutes.

The Euro 2024 winner chose to remain with Real Sociedad, which was a disappointment for the Reds, who had targeted the Spain international in a £51 million deal to strengthen their defensive midfield options.

The fact that there is still time until the transfer window shuts to conclude some business will undoubtedly come as a blow to new head coach Arne Slot, who hasn’t welcomed a new player since taking over for Jurgen Klopp in the dugout.

Regarding potential Zubimendi substitutes for Liverpool, it’s important to note that Teun Koopmeiners, who played for Slot at AZ Alkmaar, has been actively courted.

That being stated, Bruno Guimaraes of Newcastle United is one name that has been circulating lately. Journalist James Pearce, however, has disclosed the giants of Merseyside’s position on a potential sale.

Liverpool “not interested” in Bruno Guimaraes 

“Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes has been touted as a possible alternative to Zubimendi – but senior Liverpool sources, kept anonymous to protect relationships, are adamant they have no interest in the Brazilian,” Pearce wrote in The Athletic.

Given what the 26-year-old has recently spoken regarding his future, it’s a good thing Liverpool has no plans to pursue a deal for the Brazilian; otherwise, another rejection would have been imminent.

“I have never stated that I would like to leave; I am here. As reported by the Daily Mirror, “Since I signed, I want to add my name to the club’s history and nothing changes.”

“My agency is interested in this; I don’t get involved in it. I have no knowledge about it. Newcastle is my main priority, and I’m happy.”

Amidst Liverpool transfer rumours, the manager makes “blackmailed” claim while the player skips training

Teun Koopmeiners, an Atalanta midfielder, has been strongly connected to a summer transfer to Anfield. Get the most recent Liverpool transfer news and rumours here.

Teun Koopmeiners, an Atalanta midfielder, has ceased attending practices due to rumours of a move to Liverpool. This summer, the Reds have been strongly linked to a deal for the Netherlands international.

Last season, Koopmeiners was a standout player for Atalanta as they won the Europa League, defeating Liverpool in the quarterfinals. The Netherlands international has, meanwhile, been predicted to sign with Juventus in recent weeks, with the Reds appearing less likely to be his final destination.

In anticipation of Arne Slot’s debut season, Liverpool began to show interest in the 26-year-old as a possible midfield addition. Though Real Sociedad player Martin Zubimendi is the top target for Liverpool, Koopmeiners appears more and more likely to sign with Juventus.

Koopmeiners has been playing for Atalanta for a few weeks now, but it looks like he’s going to sign with Juventus. Atalanta’s head coach Gian Piero Gaspeini has officially announced that Koopmeiners has made the decision to no longer train with the team.

According to Gasperini, Atlanta feels as though they are being “blackmailed” by the circumstances surrounding Koopmeiners’ future. The coach of the Serie A team also stated that Koopmeiners has already made the decision to depart in support of a transfer to Turin.

“Up until the end of last week, everything with Koopmeiners was going well,” Gasperini said to the Italian daily l’Eco di Bergamo.

“The athlete has already signed an agreement to join to Juventus. He made the decision to stop training and playing with us because he was stressed.

He is also no longer useful to the team or his teammates as a result of this circumstance.

“The club has responded by taking a very firm stance, feeling that they are being blackmailed in a way that is distinct from the numerous other occasions in the past when the club has sold valuable assets to major teams.”
