Melissa Reddy shared that Liverpool would have loved to add Bruno Guimaraes to their ranks had they been handed a ‘blank canvas’ over any potential dealings with Newcastle.
This comes courtesy of a chat with The Anfield Wrap where the journalist noted that an unnamed source at Manchester City had admitted surprise at the Magpies managing to land such a ‘remarkable’ talent.
The chances of the Reds being capable of snatching the Brazilian away from Eddie Howe’s men this summer has to be considered beyond slim.
That being said, if we continue to retain any interest in the 24-year-old between now and the next summer window, we’d be far from surprised to see the midfielder pop up in any transfer links a year from now when we’ll likely be considering a couple of midfield additions.

"If there was a blank canvas, if availability wasn't an issue…it would be Bruno Guimarães. Somebody at City said similar, they can't believe Newcastle got that deal."

He’s not for sale at any price, we, have no need to sell anybody – we’re actually worth a few bob now believe it or not. We’re building for the future and he signed a long term deal. The only way he’d go is if he went on strike and even then, our owners could deny him.
Your scouts could’ve got him, but be honest, you had no idea how good he was or both City and Liverpool would gone in for him.
