Ben Jacobs Reveals Rival Is “Out Of The Race” To Buy £100M Brazilian Star As City Are Given Big Transfer Boost

Paris Saint-Germain are no longer involved in the race to sign Manchester City target Bruno Guimaraes, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

The former CBS Sports reporter posted an update on X to claim that PSG are “out of the race”, leaving the Cityzens and Arsenal to battle it out for the Brazilian international.

Pep Guardiola’s side remain the favourites for Guimaraes, with the Gunners said to be unwilling to trigger the release clause in the player’s contract.

The 26-year-old can be signed for £100m this summer, and City are reportedly weighing up whether to pay the necessary fee.

There is a deadline on the buyout clause
