Eddie Howe says Bruno Guimaraes will not be sold amid interest from Real Madrid and wants Newcastle United to give him the stage to fulfil his ambitions.
The Brazil midfielder has been outstanding since arriving from Lyon for £36million in January - a figure that could rise to a club record £42m - and has scored five times from 19 appearances.
Howe has no problem with the likes of Real Madrid monitoring his player - who has no release clauses in his contract - and the Magpies boss insists he is going nowhere.
