Arsenal targets Bruno Guimarães, but Newcastle rejects initial offer
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal made a formal approach for Bruno Guimarães, but their £55 million offer was rejected by Newcastle. Negotiations are ongoing.
In a move that has caught the attention of the transfer market, Arsenal has expressed interest in Bruno Guimarães, the Brazilian midfielder from Newcastle United. According to Fabrizio Romano, the London club made a formal approach in the last 24 hours, offering £55 million, but this proposal was quickly rejected by Newcastle, who wish to keep the player.
Bruno Guimarães, 28, is a Brazilian international playing as a central midfielder. Since joining Newcastle, his market value has risen to €70 million, reflecting his growing importance to the team. His current contract with Newcastle runs until June 30, 2028, which complicates any transfer attempts.
Despite the initial rejection, Arsenal is considering making a new bid, as Ben Jacobs reports they are prepared to submit a formal proposal after seeing their previous verbal offer turned down. However, Newcastle maintains a firm stance, indicating they do not intend to sell the player at this time.
In addition to Romano, Jacobs has also reported on Arsenal's interest, noting that the team has been in contact with Guimarães' camp, similar to the approach Manchester United made before the market opened. The situation is dynamic, and conversations are ongoing, although no agreement is in sight yet.
