According to exclusive news from the British media outlet Mail, Guimarães has become the new captain of Newcastle, which means that the Brazilian will not be leaving St James’ Park this summer.
The first match of the Premier League season saw Newcastle face off against newly promoted Southampton. Due to Lascelles’ long-term injury and with deputy captain Trippier on the bench, Guimarães wore the captain’s armband for the first time. Head coach Howe believes that Guimarães will contribute even more energy as captain and also wants to take this opportunity to clarify the current situation regarding the team’s captaincy.
Currently, in addition to Guimarães, the leadership team in the Newcastle dressing room consists of Lascelles as the nominal captain, with Trippier, Murphy, Wilson, and Burn as the four vice-captains. At present, Trippier’s future at Newcastle is facing significant uncertainty. The club hopes he will stay and believes that he will play an important role in the dressing room, regardless of whether he wears the captain’s armband or not.
On the other hand, there are reports that Guimarães has been under close observation by Manchester City, who are very confident of signing the Brazilian midfielder before the transfer window closes.
