Newcastle are reportedly preparing to offer midfielder Bruno Guimaraes a new £200k-a-week deal as they look to fend off any potential transfer interest.
The Brazilian international has been one of the outstanding players in the Premier League this season, with his midfield performances for the Magpies drawing high acclaim.
He only joined the side in January - after completing a £40m move from Lyon - but there are already a number of top European clubs vying for his signature.
According to the Evening Standard, Newcastle are ready to sit down with the Brazilian and discuss a new contract that could be worth up to £200k-a-week.
