Bruno Guimarães wants to join Arsenal

Arsenal has made Bruno Guimarães one of its top priorities this transfer window. According to L'Équipe, the Newcastle United midfielder has already reached a five-year agreement with the London club.

The 28-year-old Brazilian has reportedly made it clear to the Magpies' management that he wants to join Arsenal. The Gunners have already opened negotiations with an initial €70 million bid, which has been turned down by Newcastle. Despite this first rejection, talks are expected to continue. Both clubs could find common ground around a transfer fee estimated at €80 million.

With his all-around profile—able to win back possession, orchestrate play, and push forward—Bruno Guimarães perfectly fits the profile Arsenal is seeking to strengthen its midfield. Since joining Newcastle from Olympique Lyonnais in 2022, the Brazil international has established himself as a key player. He has made 195 appearances for the Magpies, scoring 31 goals and providing 32 assists.
