"I don't know what's going to happen with Bruno's future. That's for other people to speculate about. They are conversations that I'm not part of," Howe told reporters following Newcastle's pre-season draw with Gateshead.

What we speak about has to remain private, but he's just a great player, a great person.

Guimaraes, who serves as Newcastle's captain, has been a pivotal player for the team. Howe stressed the club's desire to keep him, stating, "We absolutely love him and, of course, everyone will want him to stay." This comes after Newcastle transferred winger Anthony Gordon to Barcelona and midfielder Sandro Tonali to Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the transfer window.
