Bruno Guimaraes' move to Newcastle United almost fell through due to his own agents.

The former Lyon midfielder was sold to Newcastle last week for a fee of €50m.

However, L'Equipe says Guimaraes' move almost collapsed after his own agents demanded an outstanding commission owed from his original OL arrival in 2019.

There were threats that Guimaraes would not leave OL unless the fees were paid.

OL president Jean-Michel Aulas 'didn't flinch' and agreed to cough up in order to get the transfer done.
