Arsenal target Guimaraes asks to leave Newcastle
Bruno Guimaraes has asked to leave Newcastle, with Arsenal accelerating their interest in the midfielder. The Brazil international arrived from Lyon in 2022 and has been a player of interest for the Premier League champions this summer. Arsenal had looked into approaches for either Guimaraes or his former team-mate Sandro Tonali, who has now joined Tottenham for an initial £92.5m. During discussions aimed at checking the financial conditions of a deal for Guimaraes, a fee of around £60m was initially intimated with the 28-year-old's representatives.
Newcastle has had no direct contact from Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta's side are now poised to make a fresh offer for Guimaraes, who missed a penalty for Brazil as they exited the World Cup in the last 16 to Norway on Sunday. Arsenal only want one leading central midfielder, with Bournemouth's Alex Scott and Lille's Ayyoub Bouaddi also being considered. Newcastle does not want to lose Guimaraes, the team's captain and talisman, having already sold Italy international Tonali and Anthony Gordon in this transfer window. Guimaraes turns 29 in November, and his age is likely to emerge as a key factor in how much Arsenal would be willing to pay. The arrival of a central midfielder will lead to the sale of a current player in the same position, with Denmark's Christian Norgaard, 32, someone the club will listen to offers for.
