Howe urges Bruno to snub Real Madrid transfer interest and fulfil all his trophy dreams at Newcastle


EDDIE HOWE told Bruno Guimaraes that he can fulfil all of his dreams at Newcastle. 

The Toon boss insisted the Brazil midfielder is going nowhere amid interest from Real Madrid, who are looking to replace Manchester United-bound Casemiro.

Bruno, who does not have a release clause, has been exceptional since arriving from Lyon for £42million in January. 

And asked if the Toon Army favourite, 24, could be sold this window, Howe said: “Absolutely not. We want to enhance the group, not take away our best players. 

“I’ve got no problem with the speculation, it’s a compliment to Bruno and how well he’s done for us. 

“He’s been incredible and is only going to get better.

“He came here when the club was in a relegation fight, but with no conditions, no way out, no escape clause. 

“He wanted to fight to keep the club in the Premier League. I thought that showed real, human qualities. He was all-in from day one.

“I’m sure Bruno’s got huge ambitions going forward in his career and I would embrace that, because he has the ability to achieve special things. 

“That’s what we’ve got to try to do, give him an opportunity and a platform to fulfil those aims and dreams here.

Despite making three signings earlier in the summer, there have been no incomings since early July. 

The frustrated Mags saw a second bid of £25m rejected by Watford for Samba forward Joao Pedro on Thursday. 

And Howe added: “If there was another Bruno, please let us know! They don’t grow on trees.”
