Apparently, Genoa are interested in the midfielder as well but Newcastle have outbid them.

Bruce has improved his attack with the signings of Saint-Maximin and Joelinton. He has also added a new defender in Willems and is thought to be closing in on Emil Krafth as well.

Also, the Brazilian might just be tempted to make the step up to the Premier League now. He has nothing left to prove in France anymore.
