Paris Saint-Germain are confident they will secure the signature of Bruno Guimaraes.
The Newcastle United and Brazil star could be on the move in the summer transfer window.
PSG believe they need to improve their midfield if they are to compete in the Champions League latter stages.
While Guimaraes has a release clause of close to £100 million, he is not keen on an immediate departure from St. James' Park.
He has been linked to Liverpool and Real Madrid in the past as well.
Guimaraes said of Newcastle recently: “They (the fans) have been amazing with me, with my wife, with my dad, with my mum, with everyone.
“Every match they sing my name, every time. It has given me a lot of confidence to play.
“To be honest, I wasn't expecting this with the fans [when I signed for Newcastle]. I just want to say thank you to all of them."
