Lingard & St. Juste to follow?
After Olympique Lyon still denied an agreement with Newcastle in the transfer negotiations regarding Bruno Guimarães in an official club announcement on Wednesday, the clubs have, according to The Times as well as Sky Sports, found the appropriate figures for a deal to be completed: around €40 million as an initial fee plus performance-related bonus payments for the Brazilian midfielder.
Guimarães, who sat on the bench for the national team in the 1-1 draw in Ecuador on Thursday night, is expected to complete his medical in Brazil. Lyon bought the defensive midfielder for €20 million from Club Athletico Paranaense as a replacement for Lucas Tousart in January 2020 after the latter joined Hertha BSC for €25 million. OL reportedly want to reinvest part of the transfer fee in the signing of Romain Faivre, who is one of the best players in Ligue 1 at Stade Brestois 29, but dreams of a move to his hometown of Paris.

Will Newcastle crack the €100 million mark in the winter transfer window?
The Magpies transfer spending would rise to €85 million in the winter with the additions of Chris Wood, Kieran Trippier and Guimarães, and the relegation-threatened club, which is 80% owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, is not yet finished.

They are reportedly still working on a transfer of Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard and FSV Mainz’s Jeremiah St. Juste is also said to be on head coach Eddie Howe’s list of targets. St. Juste would be the cheaper alternative to centre-back Diego Carlos, whom Sevilla, according to sporting director Monchi, did not want to let go despite a “respectable” offer of almost €36 million.
According to The Times, the next round of negotiations with the Red Devils is taking place in the matter of Lingard – the first one failed due to a bonus payment of €14.5 million. This sum is said to have been demanded by Man United for the case of Newcastle staying in the Premier League.
