Questions loom over the future of the Brazil international midfielder at St James’ Park as Newcastle grapples with compliance with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). To meet these regulations, the club may need to offload players, with Bruno being a prime target for European rivals.

As per The Mirror, PSG, the big spenders in Ligue 1, have set their sights on the South American midfielder. Initial discussions have reportedly commenced between PSG and Bruno’s representatives.

While Real Madrid also hold admiration for the talented 26-year-old, any potential deal won’t come cheap. Following his transfer from Lyon to Newcastle for £34m ($43m) in January 2022, Bruno committed to a new contract featuring a release clause in the nine-figure range.

Despite interest from elsewhere, Bruno is content at Newcastle, where he has been embraced warmly by the passionate fan base. He has no intention of agitating for a move and feels settled in England, alongside his family, as he approaches his 100th appearance for the Magpies.
