Newcastle United CEO David Hopkinson confirmed that the club negotiated the highest-ever sale for a 28-year-old player as Bruno Guimarães nears a move to Arsenal. A fee of $101 million (£75 million) was agreed between the two sides last week after Guimarães made a request to leave, which Hopkinson described as very emotional. Hopkinson stated that Newcastle did not want to sell Bruno and it was not in the plan. He said that neither the staff nor the ownership wanted to sell their captain, who was very important to them. Regarding the price, Hopkinson called it a world-record fee for a player of Guimarães' age. He explained that Bruno Guimarães very emotionally told the club he wanted to leave and move on. While early reports claimed Arsenal were confident a deal could be done for under $81 million (£60 million), Newcastle countered with an asking price of $135 million (£100 million). Hopkinson explained that the fee was not what Arsenal had hoped to pay and that Newcastle would have liked an even higher number.

Bruno Guimaraes is expected to be officially announced as an Arsenal player soon. Guimaraes has requested the number 39 shirt at Arsenal, which he wore at Newcastle United, Lyon, and Athletico Paranaense. Arsenal youngster Louie Copley, who had been wearing the number 39, is now listed as number 38 on the club's website. The Daily Mirror reported that Copley vacating the number 39 shirt is seen as a hint for Guimaraes taking it at Arsenal.

Newcastle United have confirmed that Bruno Guimaraes is joining Arsenal. Newcastle sporting director Ross Wilson stated that Bruno Guimaraes effectively informed the club of his desire to leave. Wilson said that this does not mean he can go, but it is a factor in the club's considerations when a certain financial valuation is met. David Hopkinson described the fee as the highest for a player in that position at that age and said it has been financially beneficial for both parties.

Bruno Guimarães was transferred from Newcastle to Arsenal for 87.5 million euros.

The deal with Newcastle is valued at 80 million pounds and was reportedly closed over the weekend, with the last few days having been used to finalize bureaucratic details such as payment structure and bonuses. The transfer was influenced by the Brazilian player's desire to join the current Premier League champion and by a promise from Newcastle to facilitate the sale after the club failed to qualify for the 2026/27 Champions League.

Ben Jacobs reports that club sources state Bruno Guimarães' move to Arsenal is a fixed fee of £75m.

The transfer was notably encouraged by Adriano Berta, Arsenal's sporting director.

Bruno Guimarães is leaving Newcastle’s preseason training camp in southern Spain and flying to London for a £75 million transfer to Arsenal. The Newcastle captain will have a medical in north London in the coming days after the two clubs reached a compromise on the fee. Arsenal's initial position was to pay no more than £60 million for the midfielder, while Newcastle's demand was a minimum of £80 million. Guimarães's determination to join Arsenal existed before Howe's departure as manager last week. He traveled to La Manga on Monday to meet the club’s new manager, Matthias Jaissle. It is understood that he informed Jaissle of his desire to leave and that his decision could not be changed. Lyon is due to receive approximately €8 million because of a sell-on clause that gives them 20 per cent of any profit Newcastle makes on the sale of Guimarães.

According to Sky Sports journalist Keith Downie, Newcastle United did not want to sell Bruno Guimaraes and strongly wanted to keep him. Downie stated that if Bruno had said he wanted to stay, Newcastle would have refused any offer from Arsenal or any other club. Attempts to persuade Guimaraes to stay were made and positive conversations were held, but Bruno was insistent he wanted to leave because he felt this was his last significant opportunity to win titles. Newcastle ultimately separated on good terms with Guimaraes and believe they received a favorable deal, despite an initial attempt by Arsenal to sign him for £40-45m.

The move will happen if Arsenal meet all of the demands made this week, after they initially made a low offer to Newcastle. United sources have stated that a medical was not in place on Monday and that the deal has only reached a positive outcome in the last 24 hours. A series of verbal offers were rejected, and Arsenal's original valuation and first bid for Bruno was £45m with £10m in add-ons. Newcastle increased the price by another £30m.

Jacobs added that Newcastle still deny a formal bid and that Eddie Howe is refusing to guarantee that Guimaraes will stay.

Arsenal remain determined to bring Bruno Guimaraes to the Emirates Stadium. Newcastle United are reportedly preparing for his possible departure and are actively searching for his replacement. Reports in Portugal, via Sport Witness, state that Newcastle are making plans for Guimaraes's departure to Arsenal. For a potential replacement, Porto are expected to demand a fee close to the midfielder's €85 million (£74 million) release clause, and Froholdt's asking price is similar to what Newcastle can expect to receive for Guimaraes.

ESPN Brazil journalist Bruno Andrade stated on live television that Arsenal's negotiations with Newcastle United for Bruno Guimarães could be completed by the end of the weekend. Andrade spoke to someone involved in the player's situation.

According to a prominent source on X, Arsenal have submitted a new and increased bid for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. The club's hierarchy reportedly intensified negotiations with an improved official offer today. Newcastle United want to keep Guimaraes, but financial pressure from Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules and the player’s desire for a new challenge could create complications.

Arsenal are in what are described as advanced talks with Newcastle to sign Bruno Guimaraes after an alleged verbal agreement was reached for the midfielder. According to FootballTransfers, a deal is close. Arsenal had not previously made a formal offer to Newcastle. The club had immediately rejected verbal proposals of around €70 million and has no desire to sell its captain. However, talkSPORT reports that progress has been made on a verbal agreement with a value over £75m (€87.7m), and that personal terms are already in place. In contrast, Newcastle sources have continued to deny reports of any talks and maintain that formal contact has not been made by Arsenal. Bruno Guimaraes is scheduled to report to pre-season training with Newcastle on Friday and is thought to have insisted that his future be resolved before he returns. This week, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe admitted that he is uncertain about the player's future, although he has had conversations with Guimaraes that he described as positive. All of Arsenal’s interest in Guimaraes has been expressed through intermediaries. Newcastle would immediately reject an offer around €80m, and the club continues to state that no formal bids have been made.

Arsenal are hoping to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United, and the two clubs are in advanced talks over a move for the Brazilian midfielder. talkSPORT reports that progress has been made regarding a potential £75 million transfer. The midfielder is looking to join Arsenal, and the club is determined to sign him. The player has already agreed personal terms with the Premier League champions earlier this month. Arsenal considers him a priority signing and has already made multiple verbal offers to Newcastle. Newcastle was unwilling to approve his departure, but it appears that their position is now softening.

According to The Athletic, Newcastle will reportedly not be pressured into lowering their demands for Bruno Guimaraes. The player is not for sale, and the club will not welcome any offers for him. The Magpies are perplexed with Arsenal's approach, which has allegedly been conducted through agents. No direct offer has been submitted and there have not been any club-to-club talks. A conviction exists on Tyneside that Arsenal are unlikely to meet Newcastle's valuation of Bruno, but this is described as only a suspicion and has yet to be tested.

Arsenal are advancing in talks for Bruno Guimarães, with the clubs now in contact after weeks of denials over formal talks.

Bruno Guimaraes has communicated to his representatives a desire for his future to be resolved within the next week, prior to his scheduled reporting for Newcastle United's pre-season training. The midfielder has previously informed Newcastle and manager Eddie Howe of his wish to leave St James’ Park during the current transfer window. Arsenal is the primary contender for the 28-year-old, and contact between the clubs has occurred in recent days. Arsenal is confident a deal will be completed. Personal terms are not anticipated to be a problem, as they were agreed in principle weeks ago, and Guimaraes is interested in a move to the Emirates Stadium. However, there is a significant difference between the two clubs' valuations. According to Arsenal sources, a deal can be completed for less than £80 million. Newcastle insists that no formal written bid has been received, even though Arsenal believes it has made three approaches, which include verbal proposals. Newcastle is maintaining its valuation. Following Sandro Tonali’s £100 million move to Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle believes Guimaraes is one of their most important players and feels that any deal would need to be in a comparable financial range. Guimaraes does not plan to compel a transfer by refusing to report for duty. His representatives are currently pressuring Arsenal to speed up negotiations. They have also reminded the club that it has consistently been the priority destination, and have kept Chelsea and Manchester City informed of developments. The representatives believe the north London club should now take conclusive action. Newcastle is calm and expects Guimaraes to report for pre-season as scheduled on July 31.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are scheduled to have new club-to-club contacts next week for the Bruno Guimarães deal. Personal terms have been agreed, and a new approach with Newcastle is anticipated to proceed. The £70m proposal is expected to be improved, and the deal depends on Newcastle's decision on an exit and the price.

Arsenal are interested in Bruno Guimaraes. It is reported that the club has made a £70 million ($93 million) offer for him. Eddie Howe admitted that he does not know if Bruno Guimaraes will stay with Newcastle, given the interest from Arsenal. Howe is hopeful the Newcastle captain will choose to stay at St James' Park.

The Times has reported that Newcastle have rejected an improved €82m bid from Arsenal for Bruno Guimaraes.

The Times reports that Newcastle will reject an improved bid from Arsenal for Bruno Guimaraes. After making a verbal bid through intermediaries last month, Arsenal are set to present a formal offer which is thought to be worth approximately €82m. This is not expected to be sufficient for Newcastle, as the club maintains that their captain is not for sale. Bruno Guimaraes has clarified that he wants the move, and Fabrizio Romano reports that the bid's objective is to advance negotiations, even if it is rejected.

According to Alex Crook of talkSPORT, Chelsea are not pursuing Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes. There is an expectation among several Premier League clubs that Arsenal will eventually sign the midfielder and that the 28-year-old will join them if he leaves St James’ Park. A package approaching £80 million with achievable add-ons could allow for a compromise. If Newcastle continue demanding close to £100 million, Arsenal must decide whether the investment is justified.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle United have rejected two offers from Arsenal for Bruno Guimaraes. A verbal proposal of £55 million with an additional £10 million in add-ons was rejected, along with a second approach involving a £65 million package. Romano reported that Guimaraes informed Newcastle last week of his desire to move to Arsenal. The player reportedly will not cause problems and is leaving the decision to the club. It was also reported that the player wishes to be respectful and not damage his relationship with Newcastle, but has clearly communicated his desire to leave. The midfielder has a complete agreement on personal terms with the north London club. Newcastle's position is that they do not wish to sell, and a proposal of a very high value would be needed for them to reconsider. Arsenal is preparing another bid and is expected to submit a new official offer of £70 million. Romano also stated that a fee in the range of £65 million to £90 million could make talks progress more quickly. He added that £70 million is probably not sufficient to persuade Newcastle but would be a step towards reaching an agreement. Arsenal reportedly aims to complete the transfer for a fee slightly above £70 million and does not intend to pay an excessive amount.

A prominent source on X has updated that Bruno Guimaraes is reportedly considering submitting a transfer request. This consideration follows a warning from Arsenal that they might withdraw their interest unless the Newcastle United midfielder actively seeks a transfer. Arsenal has made Guimaraes a primary midfield target but is unwilling to engage in extended negotiations with the leadership at Newcastle. The club desires for the player to submit a formal transfer request to indicate his intention and pressure Newcastle to negotiate based on financial terms considered realistic. Should Guimaraes submit an official, written transfer request, he would risk forfeiting a significant loyalty bonus that is specified in his contract with Newcastle. Guimaraes is conducting an emergency meeting with his representatives to assess his options, and the next few days have been described as critical for his decision-making process.

According to Tuttomercato, Arsenal continue to pursue Bruno Guimarães, who has been identified by Mikel Arteta as the ideal reinforcement for midfield. After failing to sign Morgan Rogers, who joined Chelsea for 138 million euros, Arsenal decided to increase their offer for the Brazilian from Newcastle. The London club has submitted a new proposal of 85 million euros, consisting of 80 million fixed and 5 million in bonuses. This is an increase from previous offers of 64 and 75 million, which were both rejected by Newcastle, who have set the price at approximately 93 million euros. The player has already reached a complete agreement with the London club regarding contract duration, salary, and bonuses.

Newcastle United are reportedly ready to reject a new £70 million bid from Arsenal for Bruno Guimaraes. According to the BBC, Arsenal are set to submit an improved £70m offer, and negotiations are said to have accelerated in recent days. Chronicle Live reports that sources at Newcastle, however, regard the £70m offer as unacceptable.

Arsenal are prepared to offer £70 million for Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazil international has informed Newcastle that he wishes to speak to the Premier League champions if a fee can be agreed. Newcastle has stated he is not for sale and has been frustrated by proposals originating from his agents rather than official bids. The club is aware of Guimaraes's preference to join Arsenal but would require a greater sum to be convinced to sell. Arsenal have been informed that a deal could be achieved for approximately £75 million, but Newcastle would require more than that amount to be persuaded. All discussions so far have come from the midfielder's agent, and Newcastle are becoming increasingly agitated by what they consider a tactical process.

Newcastle United sources have dismissed discussions about selling Bruno Guimaraes for £70m, and well-placed sources on Tyneside have stated that the possibility of Arsenal signing him for an amount close to that figure is not considered viable. Arsenal has not yet contacted Newcastle or submitted a bid for the midfielder, amid talk from the capital that the club is preparing a £70m bid. Neither Guimaraes nor his agency has submitted an official transfer request, and his contract runs for at least two more years. If Guimaraes were to submit a transfer request, Newcastle would seek a fee closer to £100m, rather than the £45m and £60m figures that have been mentioned. There is also a suggestion that Newcastle could activate an additional year on the midfielder's contract.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have agreed all details of personal terms with Bruno Guimarães and a new official bid will follow. Arsenal are to offer £70m. Newcastle expect to reject the bid but Arsenal feel they can still complete the deal. Arteta is pushing for the transfer as he wants Bruno Guimarães.

According to The Evening Standard, talks are being planned over an £80m deal for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. In a separate report, David Ornstein stated that Bruno Guimaraes informed Newcastle United of his wish to leave and join Arsenal on July 8, 2026. Ornstein reports that Arsenal are increasing their pursuit and are ready to offer a deal worth up to £60m at present. However, the report adds that there has been no club-to-club contact yet and Newcastle United's stance is still not to consider bids for the 28-year-old.

Arsenal are nearing the completion of the transfer of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle. Sources have revealed that only the final details need to be confirmed for the deal to be completed. The 28-year-old has indicated his desire to move to the Emirates Stadium, and FootballTransfers sources have indicated that this will happen. It is not yet clear what amount Arsenal will pay for the player. The fee was a significant reason for the delay in their bid to Newcastle for Bruno.

The Gunners view Bruno Guimarães as an ideal reinforcement for the midfield, and the Brazilian is prepared to leave Newcastle to join the champions of England. The Athletic revealed that Guimarães has informed Newcastle of his wish to leave this summer, two years before his contract ends. Newcastle have been firm regarding the player, but they do not entirely rule out his departure and are searching for his replacement. Sky Sports revealed that Newcastle set his price at 93 M€. According to Brazilian media RTI Esporte, Arsenal have recently made a new offer amounting to 85 M€, composed of 80 M€ fixed and 5 M€ in bonuses. Guimarães has already reached an agreement with Arsenal on all terms, including a 5-year contract, salary, and bonuses. However, The Chronicle reports that no proposal has yet arrived.

Martin Odegaard's position could be further threatened by the arrival of 28-year-old Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle, for whom Arsenal would need to pay around 88 million euros. The London club wants to alter the midfield with physically stronger players, and the Norwegian spent more time on the bench at the end of last season. Guimarães is valued at 70 million euros, according to Transfermarkt.

Bruno Guimaraes wants to leave Newcastle for a club that can win major titles. Arsenal is monitoring Bruno Guimaraes and is expected to officially contact Newcastle in the coming days. The English champions are prepared to offer €70 million to sign him. However, Newcastle will demand significantly more from their English counterparts. According to Sky Sports, Newcastle will require £80 million, approximately €93 million, to sell the midfielder. His contract runs until 2028, and this high asking price is attributed to the strong market for midfielders this summer.

According to Team Talk, Newcastle have approved Bruno Guimaraes' transfer to Arsenal.

Arsenal have been in talks with Bruno Guimaraes’ representatives regarding a transfer, but a formal approach has not been made to Newcastle. Verbal offers of approximately €60 million have been rejected by Newcastle. Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie reports that Newcastle have contacted Arsenal to ask if they are serious about signing Bruno Guimaraes. According to Sky Sports, Newcastle will not consider Arsenal’s interest to be serious until a formal offer is made, rather than through intermediaries, and an offer exceeding €90m would be required to get their attention. Newcastle maintain that Guimaraes is not for sale, but their position is complicated by the 28-year-old’s desire to consider a move to Arsenal, although he has not formally asked to leave or indicated he will force a transfer. Newcastle strongly wish not to sell him and have said he is not for sale, but acknowledge the difficulty of retaining a player who wants to leave.

According to information provided to CaughtOffside by sources with close links to the agents industry, there is an acceptance at Newcastle United that Bruno Guimaraes will eventually leave. The club reportedly wants to have a replacement arranged and will not prevent the player's departure if an acceptable price is offered.

According to a report from Globo.com, Bruno Guimarães is one of the main targets for Arsenal for the 2026/27 season. The report states that Arsenal made two offers of approximately 65 million euros and 75 million euros, both of which were rejected, and that the London team is expected to continue trying to sign him.

The Times reports that Arsenal has started formal talks with Newcastle for a deal concerning Bruno Guimaraes. Arsenal made a verbal offer through intermediaries at the end of June and had previously not opened direct talks with Newcastle. Newcastle maintains that their captain is not for sale this summer. It is understood that Guimaraes is desperate to join Arsenal. A second bid is being prepared with a value of more than €80 million, according to Ben Jacobs.

According to multiple reports, Arsenal are willing to make an improved offer for Bruno Guimaraes. The Times reports that Arsenal are prepared to increase their bid, and a fee in the region of $100 million has been mentioned. Some reports suggest that Newcastle would consider a bid in excess of $100 million. The Telegraph claims that Newcastle want a fee closer to the $124 million which Tottenham Hotspur paid for Sandro Tonali.

Arsenal have made Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes their primary transfer target for central midfield, and an agreement on personal terms has been reached. Guimaraes has a strong desire to complete the transfer. Fraser Fletcher confirmed on Monday that the player has reinforced his desire to join the Premier League champions. Arsenal have made two offers, neither of which were through official channels. One was a verbal offer of £55m, and a second for £65m was made through intermediaries and agents. Newcastle's position is that they do not want to sell, as they have already transferred Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon this summer. Craig Hope of The Daily Mail previously claimed that an offer of £75m could persuade Newcastle to sell, while Fabrizio Romano has indicated that £90m would be required. According to Ben Jacobs, Arsenal are preparing to make a new bid for Guimaraes that is expected to be over £70m. While Newcastle sources state they want to keep Guimaraes, another Premier League club has also recently made an enquiry to the player's representatives.

Arsenal plan to bid again for Bruno Guimarães and are increasing their interest. Newcastle deny that direct formal talks have taken place to date. The last offer via intermediaries was as high as £65m, and Arsenal are expected to offer more than £70m. General terms have already been established with Guimarães. Sources at Newcastle insist they want to keep the player.

Goal.com reported that Arsenal have opened direct negotiations with Newcastle regarding a potential transfer for Bruno Guimaraes. The same report states that Bruno Guimaraes has informed the Magpies hierarchy of his desire to join the Premier League champions before the new campaign.

According to a report from BBC Sport earlier this month, the Premier League champions are proceeding with plans to sign Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes. BBC Sport understands that Arsenal previously indicated to Guimaraes’ agents a willingness to pay €70m (£60m) to sign him, but Newcastle rejected the verbal proposal and insist the player is not for sale. David Ornstein stated that Arsenal are unlikely to set aside more money for Bruno Guimaraes despite failing to sign Morgan Rogers. Speaking on The Athletic FC Podcast, Ornstein added that Arsenal would only attempt to sign Guimaraes at their set valuation and would look at other targets if not.

Sources have confirmed that Newcastle United are maintaining their £100m demand for Bruno Guimaraes. According to Lee Ryder, chief Newcastle reporter for The Chronicle, Arsenal have not held new talks for the player this week. Conversations regarding the deal had been taking place with Bruno’s representatives. Arsenal's valuation of Guimaraes is closer to £80m as he is two years older than Sandro Tonali, while Newcastle maintain the belief he is worth £100m, the same as his former midfield partner. The two clubs are currently in a deadlock.

According to The Chronicle, Newcastle are annoyed by the transfer saga involving Bruno Guimaraes and maintain that a price tag has not been set for him. The midfielder from Brazil has informed the club that he desires to move to Arsenal, but Newcastle do not wish to sell him. The St. James' Park club disputes recent reports which suggested they would consider offers of around €100m. The club states that there is no price for Guimaraes because he is not for sale.

Bruno Guimaraes has asked to leave Newcastle United to join Arsenal, wanting to play in the Champions League and compete for major silverware. Newcastle have rejected verbal offers of £55 million and £65 million from Arsenal. Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is preparing to make a formal bid worth £80 million. Newcastle insist they want £100 million to sell Bruno Guimaraes. Sources at Newcastle have dismissed reports that Guimaraes was going to be available for £50 million this summer. The transfer could be part of a £366 million quadruple deal for Arsenal that also includes Morgan Rogers, Christos Tzolis and Julian Alvarez.

Bruno Guimaraes' contract at Newcastle United has two years remaining and includes an option for a one-year extension. Lyon will receive a portion of any transfer fee for the player.

According to The Telegraph, intermediaries informed Arsenal that Bruno Guimaraes could be acquired from Newcastle United for £50m this summer. The report claims former Newcastle co-owner Amanda Staveley informed intermediaries that Guimaraes could be available for a £50m fee after Newcastle failed to qualify for the Champions League. When The Telegraph approached her for comment, Staveley categorically denied that any such conversation took place. Staveley's husband, Mehrdad Ghodoussi, also described the claims as utter nonsense. The Telegraph states that Guimaraes' representatives are claiming they had talks with Staveley, who said the club would listen to offers around that amount if they failed to qualify for the Champions League. Newcastle have stated it would take a fee of around £100m to sell Guimaraes, and they do not want to sell their captain. The report claims that while Arsenal admire Guimaraes, they only became interested in a deal when informed of a £50m asking price. Newcastle have not received any official transfer approach from Arsenal and insist there is no release clause in Guimaraes' contract and that the captain is not for sale.

Arsenal is considering ending negotiations for the transfer of Bruno Guimarães and is now uncertain about continuing to pursue the Brazilian international because of the high asking price. The Telegraph reports that the current asking price is nearly 120 million euros. Arsenal had previously heard that Bruno Guimarães could be acquired from Newcastle United for just under sixty million euros. This figure was based on information from his entourage, which stemmed from earlier conversations with former Newcastle co-owner Amanda Staveley. Newcastle is now seeking 100 million pounds, which is almost 120 million euros, for the 28-year-old playmaker. In June, Arsenal made a verbal offer for Bruno Guimarães, which Newcastle United rejected. The player has indicated at St. James' Park that he would like to move to Arsenal.

Arsenal are set to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle in a £75m deal.

According to Ben Jacobs, Arsenal are planning to begin formal negotiations with Newcastle United for midfielder Bruno Guimarães, who wants to make the transfer but is not expected to push for a departure in the way Alexander Isak did the previous year.

According to Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie, Newcastle are flabbergasted by Arsenal's behaviour in the Bruno Guimaraes transfer matter. The Gunners have not yet made any contact with Newcastle, and communication has so far occurred only through intermediaries. Guimaraes has directly informed Newcastle that he desires to sign for Arsenal but accepts his club's position that he will only be sold if a suitable offer is made. He could cost up to €100m, and it is not clear whether the Gunners would be willing to pay that amount.

Arsenal are planning a €90m offer for Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes, according to Nicolo Schira.

Following Brazil's World Cup exit, representatives for Bruno Guimaraes are accelerating talks over a move to Arsenal, as part of his effort to leave Newcastle United. Guimaraes would prefer not to return for pre-season training with Newcastle if a move can be agreed upon beforehand. Suggestions that Newcastle would accept offers around £60 million have been dismissed internally. According to well-placed sources, it would take a package valued closer to £100 million for the club to consider approving the midfielder's departure. New talks have occurred with Arsenal, and the midfielder has again indicated that joining Mikel Arteta’s side is his preferred outcome. TEAMtalk reports that Guimaraes informed Arsenal last month of his desire to move to the Emirates, and that message has been reinforced after Brazil’s elimination. A source close to the situation told TEAMtalk that Guimaraes does not want to be perceived as wasting what could be the best years of his career. The source also conveyed Guimaraes' belief that, as one of the world's finest midfielders, he ought to be playing European football. There is a hope that everything will be resolved this month. Arsenal remains the leading candidate, but because Newcastle is not changing its valuation, negotiations are not close to a conclusion.

According to the Brazilian publication UOL, Arsenal are set to make their final offer for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, which is believed to be around £72 million. The publication reports that the player is very close to making the move and that this will be Arsenal's final bid before they consider alternatives. It was revealed on Wednesday evening that Guimaraes informed Newcastle of his desire to join Arsenal, although the 28-year-old will not push for a move. Arsenal's initial £55 million bid and a second offer worth £65 million were rejected. However, Fabrizio Romano indicated on Thursday morning that Newcastle's stance is that anything less than £90 million for Guimaraes will not be accepted. Eddie Howe and the Newcastle hierarchy view the Brazil international as critical to their project and would require a substantial offer to even consider a sale.

Bruno Guimarães has informed Newcastle United that he wants to move to Arsenal. According to 'L’Équipe', Guimarães has reached an agreement with Arsenal on a five-year contract. The transfer fee could reportedly be settled at around 105 million euros.

Bruno Guimaraes wants to leave Newcastle and Arsenal are preparing a new bid to test the club's resolve. After two bids were already rejected, Arsenal are set to return with an £80m bid. Club insiders are said to be frustrated by the situation, particularly as they try to retain their on-field leader without European football to offer next season.

Discussions for Arsenal to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United are at an advanced stage.

According to Globo, Bruno Guimaraes has informed his manager, Eddie Howe, of his desire to leave. The Globo report also states that towards the end of last season, Guimaraes had a conversation with Eddie Howe to express his desire to seek new challenges with a more competitive team. While Globo claimed Newcastle want £90m for the midfielder, Fabrizio Romano reported that Arsenal have no intention to pay that amount.

According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Mikel Arteta is driving the deal for Bruno Guimarães and is pushing for the signing to happen. The transfer is contingent on Newcastle's stance. Furthermore, Arsenal are set to bid again, and personal terms are not a problem. The deal involves no intermediaries; agents Bertolucci, Kia Joorabchian, and Alexis Malavolta are working on it together.

According to transfer insider Nicolo Schira, Bruno Guimaraes has agreed personal terms with Arsenal on a contract until 2031, and Arsenal are making a strong effort to sign the 28-year-old. David Ornstein of The Athletic confirmed that Guimaraes has handed in a transfer request. Ornstein understands that Arsenal are willing to pay £60 million (€70m), but there has been no formal club-to-club contact yet. Newcastle have insisted that they do not want to sell, but the transfer request from Guimaraes may force them to reconsider. Luke Edwards of The Telegraph states that Newcastle are aware of the situation and that Arsenal have not yet made a bid. Edwards also states that the asking price will be approximately £100m (€115m), the same as the Tonali fee, and not £60m or £75m. The Chronicle reports that Newcastle are expecting another approach from Arsenal.

Bruno Guimaraes was understood to have indicated that he wanted to leave Newcastle United for Arsenal. A conversation between intermediaries about a possible £45m price took place last month but was instantly rejected. There has since been a suggestion that a bid close to £60m could be enough to persuade Newcastle, but this suggestion was downplayed on Tyneside last night. Arsenal may look elsewhere if they feel the price for the 28-year-old goes beyond their valuation. Arsenal sources have cited that Guimaraes will turn 29 in November and believe the asking price is too high for a player with two years left on his deal, as his price will soon start to decrease. Arsenal chiefs believe that while his contract has no minimum fee release clause, Newcastle could be open to a £60m sale. The information from Newcastle last night was that there was no offer or an approach for Bruno Guimaraes. It is uncertain whether Guimaraes will refuse to train with Newcastle when he is due back later this month. Sources close to him say he is concerned about the direction of the sporting project at Newcastle after the club finished 12th and did not build on their Carabao Cup victory in 2025. He is also believed to be concerned about the sales of Anthony Gordon to Barcelona and Sandro Tonali to Tottenham Hotspur. Guimaraes has two years left on his current deal, and if he refuses to extend his contract, his valuation will decrease. When asked if his contract had an extra year option, Newcastle did not comment. Sources at St James' Park felt that agents or intermediaries were responsible for the leak, but those close to Guimaraes and his representatives said it had not come from the player's side. Guimaraes knows he is well paid at Newcastle and would not want to disrupt pre-season plans, but it is not certain if he will report back on time. It is uncertain if he would stop working to secure a move, as he has never caused any trouble since arriving in 2022.

According to Globo.com, Bruno Guimarães expressed to Newcastle his desire to leave the club before the World Cup. The player has already agreed to the move and has personal terms in place with Arsenal. Newcastle set an asking price of around 90 million pounds and recently rejected an offer from Arsenal of 45 million pounds plus 10 million pounds in bonuses. Information from behind the scenes indicates that Arsenal planned to raise their offer to 70 million pounds, but that is still expected to be insufficient. The expectation is that the deal could proceed at 90 million pounds, including fixed and variable amounts. After Arsenal's approach, Guimarães reiterated his desire to leave and left the negotiations to his agents. There is a high probability that Bruno Guimarães will remain in the Premier League.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Arsenal are preparing a new official bid for Bruno Guimarães. A £55m bid was rejected, and a second approach with a £65m package was also rejected. A fee between £65m and £90m could accelerate talks. According to the report, Bruno Guimarães told Newcastle last week that he wants the move to Arsenal but will not create issues, leaving the decision to the club.

Arsenal has made Bruno Guimarães a priority target to reinforce their midfield. According to ESPN, the London club has increased its offer to Newcastle to £65 million, an amount that is still below what the Magpies consider fair. The report states that £70 million is the minimum Newcastle expects to open negotiations. The Gunners are favored by the Brazilian's desire to play in the Champions League, a competition Newcastle did not qualify for next season, while Arsenal were European runners-up and Premier League champions. People cited in the report believe that the deal is not impossible. Bruno, who has a very good relationship with the club and its fans, will not force a transfer, and the situation is expected to progress only if there is an agreement between the clubs. Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, highly regards Bruno's football.

According to The Athletic, Bruno Guimaraes has informed Newcastle United of his wish to leave and join Arsenal. The report states that Arsenal are increasing their pursuit and are ready to offer a deal worth up to £60 million currently. There has not yet been any club-to-club contact, and Newcastle United's position is not to consider bids for Bruno Guimaraes.

While Newcastle United continues to maintain that their captain is not available, reports indicate that a bid of around £65 million could be sufficient to persuade the club to enter talks. Negotiations are now expected to accelerate following Brazil's elimination from the World Cup. It is anticipated that Bruno Guimaraes will shift his full focus towards resolving his club future, which could hasten developments regarding a potential transfer to Arsenal.

According to Scott Trotter of The Mirror, Newcastle continue to be keen to keep Bruno Guimaraes amid interest from Arsenal, and the club views his talents as being priceless. Trotter's report states that Eddie Howe is determined to keep the Brazil international and that Newcastle maintains he is not for sale at any price. However, Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live revealed that an offer of around £65 million, roughly €75 million, could be the threshold internally set by Newcastle for the player's sale. Ryder said that Arsenal’s initial verbal offer, worth around £45 million, was rejected, but suggested a higher official bid could alter the situation. Ryder also reported that Newcastle is reportedly planning to offer Bruno Guimaraes a £40 million contract after his representatives spoke to both clubs.

Arsenal have a growing interest in Bruno Guimaraes. Newcastle have already rebuffed a verbal approach for the player. It is understood that Guimaraes' representatives have held talks with both clubs. Newcastle's stance is that he is not for sale and they intend to offer him a new contract.

It is understood that Bruno Guimaraes has serious concerns regarding Newcastle United's long-term ambitions, and growing uncertainty about the club's direction has led to new speculation about his future. Sources indicate there is growing unease within the club. One source stated that Guimaraes is not happy with the current situation. Guimaraes is worried about the club's trajectory, especially concerning questions about potential player departures and the long-term future of manager Eddie Howe. FootballTransfers has been informed that, at present, he is more likely to stay than to leave, but this could change if the Brazilian actively attempts to force a transfer. Sources close to the Brazil camp at the World Cup suggest it is a realistic scenario that Guimaraes could try to force a move this summer. According to one source familiar with the club's transfer plans, Newcastle would demand what was described as a significant amount of money. Guimaraes has not yet requested a transfer, but there are growing concerns at Newcastle that their captain could leave.

Tottenham Hotspur have hindered Arsenal’s move for top midfield target Bruno Guimarães. Arsenal have already had a £55 million ($73 million) bid rejected by Newcastle United. Reports suggest the Brazilian, who is currently performing well at the World Cup, could be persuaded to leave, but Newcastle have told the midfielder and his representatives that they have no intention of letting him go. Fabrizio Romano commented that Guimarães has always been a player appreciated by Mikel Arteta, but a deal with Newcastle will now be difficult. Romano added that this is because the club made money with Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, and they have already told Bruno Guimarães and people close to him that they want to keep the player. Romano says Guimarães is what he described as the Gunners’ top target in midfield and suggests they could make another bid. For now, from Newcastle’s perspective, they are unwilling to sell.

Graeme Bailey reported on June 25 that Bruno Guimaraes is considering leaving Newcastle United in the summer transfer window. According to Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle United have directly told Bruno Guimaraes and individuals close to him that he is not for sale and that they want to retain the player.

Arsenal made a verbal bid of just under £45 million (€52m) for Bruno Guimaraes last week, which Newcastle rejected. It is believed that Mikel Arteta’s side is preparing a second approach. According to The Chronicle, Newcastle is expecting another approach from Arsenal, despite having told the North London side that their skipper was not for sale. The Gunners are said to believe that an offer of £65m (€75.5m) could be sufficient to secure a deal. Speculation about a move has been encouraged by Guimaraes’ representative, Alexis Malavolta, who posted a picture on social media with Giuliano Bertolucci and Kia Joorabchian. Arsenal has had a long-standing interest in Guimaraes and seems to believe a deal for him is possible, despite Newcastle's reluctance to begin negotiations. It is believed that there is no release clause in Guimaraes’ contract, but talks between the player and the club will likely be held upon his return to Newcastle after the World Cup. His future is expected to cause uncertainty for Newcastle throughout the summer. The Chronicle states that the Arsenal approach has captured Guimaraes' attention.

According to Shields Gazette, Arsenal are interested in signing the 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. Newcastle have no plans to approve his departure. Unless Bruno Guimaraes decides to request a move, it will be difficult for Arsenal to complete the deal. When Newcastle signed Bruno Guimaraes from Lyon, the French club included a sell-on clause in his deal, meaning Newcastle will have to pay 20% of any profits to the French club if they decide to sell him. This could make Newcastle more determined not to sell Bruno Guimaraes this summer.

According to Chronicle Live, people inside Newcastle United have denied suggestions that midfielder Bruno Guimarães has a release clause in his contract that became active after the club failed to qualify for the Champions League. Guimarães is a target for Arsenal.

Insider Ben Jacobs has suggested that Arsenal made an offer to the representatives of the Brazilian midfielder, while Magpies journalist Lee Ryder has denied that any offer has been made by the club. Lee Ryder does suggest Guimaraes is a player the Gunners want. A suggestion that intermediaries made a £45 million offer has been dismissed. It is also suggested that Newcastle might have to consider selling the midfielder, who has two years remaining on his contract. It is stated that Arsenal has not made any contact with Newcastle to understand the potential for a deal. Furthermore, it is made clear that money is not the motivation for Guimaraes, following reports of a £200,000-per-week deal being available at St James’ Park. Guimaraes is reportedly more interested in the project available to him, and with no European football available at Newcastle next term, he could be open to a move elsewhere. It is stated that it is still very early in the process for Arsenal, as no talks have yet taken place for Guimaraes.

According to The Sun, Newcastle is preparing to offer Bruno Guimaraes a new contract, which the source describes as very lucrative. The English tabloid reports that the midfielder is already the club's highest-paid player with £160,000 a week, and Newcastle is willing to increase his salary to £200,000 per week. Separately, Sky Sports UK reports that Arsenal has explored the terms of a potential deal, and that the Premier League champions are interested in strengthening their midfield with a player of Bruno Guimaraes' type. The same source states that no contact between the clubs has taken place so far, but it is believed that an informal offer has been rejected through intermediaries. Newcastle's position is that they do not intend to sell the player and will not accept offers.

According to The i Paper, Bruno Guimaraes is interested in signing a new contract with Newcastle United despite receiving strong interest from Arsenal. The Athletic reported that the Premier League champions made a verbal offer on Friday via intermediaries that was below €69.5million (£60m) for the Brazil international. After rejecting Arsenal’s approach, Newcastle has stated Guimaraes is not for sale, and Eddie Howe’s side wants to agree new terms with him, according to The i Paper. The same outlet claims Guimaraes is willing to extend his stay at St. James’ Park, even while his representatives are generating interest in his signature. The Daily Mail claims he is not currently pushing for a move away.

According to Ben Jacobs, Liverpool and Man Utd have both spoken to the agent of Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimarães, but only Arsenal has made a formal offer.

FootballTransfers reported that Bruno Guimaraes has given Arsenal permission to hold further talks with Newcastle regarding a move.

According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal are preparing to make an approach for Bruno Guimaraes after receiving encouragement from the player's representatives. Sources confirmed to TEAMtalk that Arsenal have held extensive discussions with Guimaraes’ representatives in recent weeks. These conversations have led Arsenal to become more confident that a deal could be possible if an agreement is reached with Newcastle. Arsenal are now preparing to make an offer of approximately £80 million. Newcastle sources have dismissed reports suggesting that Arsenal had already submitted an offer valued at less than £60 million. Newcastle are not placing a public valuation on Guimaraes and maintain they do not want to sell him. Sources have confirmed that Guimaraes has informed Newcastle he is not currently planning to sign a new contract. A move to Arsenal could potentially result in him doubling his current salary.

Arsenal has shown interest in Bruno Guimaraes. It is reported that Newcastle United do not expect Arsenal to meet their £100m asking price for Bruno Guimaraes. Newcastle want £100m for Guimaraes and do not believe Arsenal will come close to that fee. A source quoted by the Telegraph said that it would be pointless for them to continue if they were to sell both Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali this summer.

Newcastle is negotiating the sale of Bruno Guimaraes with Arsenal.

According to @gunnerblog, @ChrisDHWaugh, and @TheAthleticFC, Arsenal made a verbal offer to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United. The proposal was below £60m and was rejected. Newcastle United insist that the sale of the midfielder will not be considered.

According to reports, Newcastle United rejected an opening offer from Arsenal for Bruno Guimaraes worth around £55m. Brazilian outlet Ge Globo claims that Newcastle rejected a £55m offer from Arsenal and that the Gunners will make a new bid. Fabrizio Romano confirmed on his YouTube channel that Arsenal's interest in Bruno Guimaraes is true and that the club made a direct approach to both the player and Newcastle. According to Romano's understanding, Arsenal's intention was to try for a deal around £55m, but Newcastle are not selling the player for that fee and rejected this approach. Bruno Guimaraes is letting Newcastle handle the situation and is respecting the club.

Globo.com reports that Bruno Guimarães has received a proposal from Arsenal. The current English champion offered 55 million pounds to sign the player from Newcastle. The first offer was refused, but Arsenal has indicated that it will make a new proposal. Newcastle is making the release of Bruno Guimarães difficult. He is the team's captain and an idol of the fans. The player is aware of Arsenal's interest but is trying to remain focused on the World Cup. The negotiations for Arsenal are led by the Italian director Adriano Berta, who has admired Bruno Guimarães for a long time.

Sources close to Newcastle United have stated the club has a stance that captain Bruno Guimaraes is not for sale. According to reports, Arsenal will approach Newcastle for the player after his performance for Brazil against Scotland, where he provided two assists. The Daily Mail claimed that the Gunners had held talks with Bruno Guimaraes's agent. However, Arsenal sources say they have not formalised their interest with an official enquiry and would need extra support to complete a deal. Newcastle has not received any official approach or offer for Bruno Guimaraes, who had a £100m minimum fee release in 2024.

Arsenal are among six leading suitors to sign Bruno Guimaraes, who has become disillusioned at St James’ Park because he has no intention of being part of a prolonged rebuild. Ross Wilson, the sporting director for Newcastle United, has serious concerns about Guimaraes and fears that he may leave this summer.

According to Daily Mail Sport, Arsenal have opened discussions with the representatives of Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes. Mikel Arteta has prioritised the 28-year-old Brazilian international to reinforce Arsenal’s midfield. Newcastle are expected to demand a fee significantly higher than £80 million before considering a deal. Arsenal have established direct communication with his representatives early and are considering making a formal approach to Newcastle.

According to Fichajes, Mikel Arteta has explicitly requested a move for Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães, and the price for the Brazil international for Arsenal would be in the region of $116.9 million (€100 million).

Bruno Guimaraes has been linked with clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona and PSG in recent times, although he has stayed at Newcastle so far. According to Martin Keown, Guimaraes is another prominent player who could leave if Tonali is sold.

Arsenal have made an initial offer valued at €70 million for Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes, according to reports from Spain. The Gunners are anticipated to sign at least one new central midfielder during the 2025 summer transfer window, and it is reported that they have intensified their efforts to acquire Guimaraes as they aim to secure the Brazilian player. Mikel Arteta has been interested in Guimaraes for a long time, and Arsenal have now placed an initial bid of €70m, as reported by Fichajes. Nevertheless, Newcastle are reportedly determined not to sell Guimaraes "at any price" and plan to keep the Brazilian midfielder until at least 2026 as they seek to solidify their status as regular participants in the Champions League.

Newcastle have agreed to let Bruno Guimaraes leave the club for £60 million if they fail to secure Champions League qualification. Arsenal are interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder, with their new sporting director Andrea Berta being an admirer. Berta previously attempted to sign Guimaraes for Atletico Madrid but failed. Arsenal might need to offer a fee close to their transfer record signing, which was £105 million for Declan Rice.

Arsenal's incoming sporting director Andrea Berta has prioritized signing Bruno Guimarães. Reports suggest that if Newcastle fails to qualify for the Champions League, they may be open to offers around £70 million. Guimarães is under contract at Newcastle until 2028 and has a market valuation of €80 million.

90min reports on Arsenal's interest in signing Bruno Guimaraes in the upcoming transfer window. Incoming Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is pushing for a summer deal for Bruno Guimaraes. Contact has reportedly been made between Berta and Guimaraes' entourage. Guimaraes has a verbal agreement with Newcastle to leave for around £60m if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Team Talk has reported that Arsenal is interested in Bruno Guimaraes as a potential reinforcement for their midfield. It has been revealed that Andrea Berta, who is set to become Arsenal's sporting director, has identified Guimaraes as a primary target for strengthening the midfield. There exists a verbal agreement with Newcastle which stipulates that Guimaraes can leave for £85 million if Newcastle does not qualify for the Champions League and a Champions League club submits an offer. With Arsenal on course to qualify for the Champions League, they are considered a possible destination for the player. Additionally, Manchester City is known to admire Guimaraes and might make a move for him during the summer.

AS reports on the potential transfer of Bruno Guimarães to Arsenal. Bruno Guimarães is happy at Newcastle, but is open to a move if Arsenal provides a chance to fight for titles. Newcastle agreed to let him go for around 60 million pounds (71 million euros) if they don't qualify for the Champions League. Arsenal's new sporting director Andrea Berta is keen on signing him.

Arsenal has increased its interest in Bruno Guimarães, the midfielder from Newcastle, with the aim of bringing him into the team during the winter transfer window to boost their squad for the latter part of the season. The rivalry between Manchester City and Arsenal is expected to be fierce, as both teams are looking to improve their sporting projects by acquiring one of Europe's most complete midfielders. Nevertheless, a possible transfer in January appears challenging since Newcastle holds the player in high regard, and any exit would necessitate an offer of more than £100 million.

Newcastle United have made it clear to Arsenal that offers for Bruno Guimaraes will not be entertained this late in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal are set to make a player-plus-cash swap deal offer for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.

Bruno Guimaraes is flattered by the interest of clubs like Barça, Arsenal and Manchester City. 'It's good to see my name linked with big clubs, it means I'm doing my job well. But I'm not worried, I'm happy in Newcastle. We'll see what happens.'

Bruno Guimaraes has been linked with Arsenal.

Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes also remain options, although Eddie Howe has repeatedly stated that Guimaraes isn’t for sale, while Arsenal are unlikely to trigger his €117.5m release clause.

90min previously reported that in addition to a striker, Arsenal want to bring in a midfielder, with Newcastle United's Bruno Guimaraes and Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi on their shortlist.

Arsenal have made contact with Bruno Guimaraes' camp over a stunning transfer for the Newcastle star, according to reports.

Arsenal are prepared to pay the €117 million (£100m) release clause in Bruno’s Newcastle contract. This clause is only valid until June 30. Arsenal cannot sign Guimaraes without first making sales as they will breach the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Bruno Guimarães has been performing well in his second season at Newcastle, attracting interest from Arsenal. He has a release clause of 100 million pounds (116 million euros). If Bruno Guimarães is to leave northern England, it will have to be before summer. Newcastle's coach, Eddie Howe, has stated that the situation has been well planned and structured by the club, and he does not want constant speculation as he does not believe it is healthy for the player or for the club. Despite Newcastle's desire to keep one of their best players of the season, they also have to comply with profitability and sustainability rules (PSR).

Arsenal has been leading the race for Bruno Guimarães for months now. Newcastle United has set a release clause of 120M and has not intended to reduce it. The clause expires at the end of June, and the player can be taken without a prior agreement with Newcastle United. Bruno Guimarães' contract does not end until 2028.

Bruno Guimaraes could depart this summer if a release clause in his contract is triggered. This is only in place until 30 June. The cost for Bruno could be around the €117 million (£100m) mark. Newcastle wants to keep him and build their team around him, but they are not in control of the situation.

Bruno Guimaraes has been attracting interest from several clubs, including Arsenal. Newcastle may have to sell due to their Financial Fair Play situation. Guimaraes has a release clause in excess of €100 million, but Newcastle won't insist on this fee when Champions League clubs come knocking due to a gentlemen's agreement with the player. Guimaraes would be open to joining Arsenal and working with Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal is another club showing interest in Bruno Guimarães. The club is looking to anticipate the departures of Thomas Partey and Jorginho and sees Bruno as a potential replacement.

Bruno Guimãraes's name has been regularly associated with Arsenal. However, Guimãraes is still a player of Newcastle and is not expected to leave the English club this summer despite the courtships. The Brazilian's agent has stated that he is 'very happy' in the North of England, and the former Lyonnais player has even made an offer for a house to settle permanently with his family. This indicates that the player, who signed a contract extension in October last year until 2028, is not in a hurry to leave, despite the rumours linking him to Arsenal recently.
