The Blues and Real Madrid are reportedly keeping tabs on the eight-cap international, 24, who joined Newcastle from Lyon in a £40million deal in January. He's become a fan favourite at St James' Park, scoring seven goals in 26 Premier League appearances. It's believed Newcastle are considering handing Guimaraes a lucrative contract to keep him at St James' Park. The Magpies have a seemingly unlimited amount of cash to spend after a Saudi-backed consortium completed a takeover of the club 12 months ago. Money aside, Guimaraes claims he's loving life in the Toon. "I feel at home," the midfielder told Sky Sports. "The experience I've had here has been amazing. Yes, sometimes it can be difficult to leave the house because everybody recognises me! "But they [the fans] are always so friendly, so loving, not just with me but with everyone in my family. It's always nice when there are teams looking at you, but my plan is just to do my best at Newcastle. The rest, I leave with my agent. "I have three or four years of contract left. It's so long. I swear I'm not thinking about other things. My focus now is just on Newcastle and the World Cup. There is a long way to go. I love playing here, I love to bond with the fans, and I want to become a legend here."
