Liverpool have serious interest in Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes.
That is the view of journalist Ben Jacobs, who works for CBS Sports in the United States.
Guimaraes, who is likely to sign a new contract with the Magpies this season, has a release clause in his deal.
Per Jacobs: It is possible that there will be a release clause inserted into the new deal. That's maybe the most interesting part of all of this because, if you're Newcastle and there is a release clause, you're going to inform that release clause based on Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo.
It's going to be a very high number, well in excess of 100 million.
If you're the player, you may want that release clause because it gives you an out if Newcastle, for example, don't get Champions League football.
But the Guimaraes camp will have to decide whether it's better to have a giant release clause or no release clause in terms of potentially being open to a move in the long-term."
