NEWCASTLE could offer Chelsea and Real Madridà target Bruno Guimaraesà ã200,000 A WEEK to stay.
The fourth-placed Magpies have astonishingà win stats when the Brazil midfielder plays.
Andà theà Evening Standardà claimà Newcastle chiefs are keen to discuss a massive newà contract with the 24-year-old.
The Toon anticipate huge interest in the eight-cap ace, starting in January.
And Guimaraes has emerged as the key man in Newcastle’s rise into the Champions League spots.
Hisà all-action style has brought seven goals and three assists from 27 games.
And Newcastle’s win rate is 58 per cent with him â just 21 per cent without.
Guimareasà cost ã40million from Lyon ten months ago but has settled into the Premierà League incredibly smoothly.
A string of European giants have been linked with the Rio-born grafter.

The Blues are said to have already enquired about him.
That’s partly because Chelsea’s 30-plus midfieldersà N’Golo Kante and Jorginho are out of contract in the summer.
But Guimareasà claims he wants to become a Newcastle “legend”;.
He recently said: “To change country, to change leagues, and in a World Cup year as well, it was a really hard decision.
“But I think it was the right one. I’m so happy. It’s an amazing step. I feel like a Geordie now.”;
