Guimaraes has developed into a crucial player for the Magpies, but head coach Eddie Howe has admitted Premier League financial rules (FFP) are causing issues for him in the transfer market.
As per the latest update from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are monitoring the situation with interest, but they are not able to meet Guimaraes’ £100m release clause.
Barcelona could look to make a structured transfer offer, which would include a player exchange, but could be valued at £80m, with Newcastle looking increasingly likely to miss out on a Champions League qualification spot for 2024/25.
