Since their Saudi Arabia takeover, the Magpies have been very careful to make sure they do not breach FFP rules and invite any unwanted scrutiny.

PSG are a team who could look to take advantage of this situation with a move for the Brazilian midfielder.

He currently has a £100million release clause in his contract and they would be powerless to stop him leaving if they met that.

Defender Sven Botman and striker Alexander Isak are the club’s most sellable assets and none would be short of suitors, not just in the Premier League but among Europe’s elite clubs.

The club's issues in keeping within FFP rules could affect Eddie Howe's ability to bring players in during the January transfer window.

Losing Guimaraes would be a huge blow to Newcastle, who quickly established himself as a fan favourite.

He joined the club for a reported £40m in January 2022 from Lyon, turning down Arsenal to move to the north east.

The Brazilian has played 87 times for the club and scored 11 goals.
