JOELINTON is convinced Bruno Guimaraes will stay at Newcastle this summer and the duo have set a target of leading Brazil at the next World Cup.
The Newcastle midfield enforcer, 27, signed a new deal this summer to stay on Tyneside until 2028.
And he has given the strongest declaration yet that his best man Bruno, who saw a £100m release clause expire in June, will be alongside him, despite lingering interest from Manchester City.
Joelinton is fit again after a troubled season and says a refreshed squad will target the new campaign with "great expectations" and an eye on getting back into Europe.
He was a huge miss last season, but is now tied down for the long term on and off the pitch after getting married in Brazil in the summer.
