Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes appeared to respond to Alexander Isak’s shocking statement with a post of his own on Tuesday night. Since his arrival in 2022, the Brazilian midfielder has been one of the Magpies’ most important personalities, and his latest bold message is only going to strengthen his bond with the St James’ Park supporters.
Newcastle soon responded with their own statement, expressing unhappiness with Isak’s words and emphasizing that their valuation of the striker had not been fulfilled – and was unlikely to be. While furious fans on social media have encouraged the club to demote him to the reserves, Guimaraes’ answer highlights his dedication and worth to the team.
Bruno Guimaraes’ Social Media Post After Isak Statement
The 27-year-old’s Instagram post was an excellent example of saying a lot without speaking a single word. Rather of delivering a lengthy statement, Guimaraes just reshared a post from the Premier League’s Latin America account, which showed him proudly donning Newcastle’s new home kit while standing tall against the backdrop of the club emblem. View his post below:
Unsurprisingly, the post has gone down well with Newcastle fans, who can be blamed for being concerned about the club’s summer transfer activity. The climate on Tyneside has been strained, with their top striker pushing for an escape and no new attacker wanting to sign, despite efforts to break into the Premier League’s conventional ‘big six’.
Guimaraes is undoubtedly on the radar of Europe’s top clubs, but after leading Newcastle to their first major trophy in 70 years in last season’s 2-1 League Cup final victory against Liverpool, he is willing to stay and continue driving the Magpies’ recovery.
Still, some outside observers believe that no player is bigger than the club, and that selling Isak for £120 million may be a better decision than carrying the financial burden of his wages for another year – a move that would otherwise appear as an unnecessary show of power by the Saudi-led ownership.
What is obvious, however, is that all eyes will now be on Newcastle’s next Premier League match, a home game against the champions on Monday night. Fixtures versus Liverpool have traditionally been among the division’s most exciting, but with the present instability as a backdrop, the latest edition has the potential to be an all-time classic.
