REPORT: Newcastle United star issues contract ‘hope’ as he teams up with West Ham ace

Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes expressed his optimism regarding Joelinton’s contract situation during an unconventional exchange. Guimaraes voiced his hope for a successful negotiation between the club and Joelinton for a new deal, as Joelinton’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the upcoming season, raising concerns about his future with the club if an agreement isn’t reached. However, recent reports from the Telegraph suggest a positive trend toward securing a new contract for the Brazilian player, which could potentially place him among the top earners at the club.

In a unique scenario, Guimaraes was questioned about Joelinton’s situation while engaging in a Twitch stream, where he and fellow Brazilian player Lucas Paqueta were playing Call of Duty: Warzone. Guimaraes and Paqueta share a close bond from their time together at Lyon, and Guimaraes’ association with Newcastle United was evident when Paqueta was seen wearing the club’s shirt at Guimaraes’ house before his transfer to West Ham.

During the stream, Guimaraes expressed his desire for Joelinton to sign a new contract, much to the excitement of Newcastle United supporters. Additionally, he sang a rendition of ‘Geordies’ set to the tune of Hey Jude by the Beatles, a tradition often heard at the club’s home matches in recent seasons.

Despite being just one yellow card away from facing a two-game suspension in the Premier League, the 26-year-old has been a consistent presence in the Newcastle United lineup, featuring in nearly every league game this season, barring one match against Bournemouth due to accumulated bookings.
