Thursday, August 6, 2026 - Premier League champions Arsenal have agreed a £75m fee with Newcastle for their captain Bruno Guimaraes.
The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a switch to the
Emirates all summer, with Mikel Arteta identifying him as a priority target.
Guimaraes will now be expected to undergo a medical later
this week before wrapping up a move to north London. Personal terms are said to
have been agreed for some time.
Newcastle are said to be happy with the deal, which
represents a significant profit on the £38m they paid Lyon in 2022 for the
player.
However, Guimaraes is the third star player to leave the
club this summer after Anthony Gordon joined Barcelona and Sandro Tonali went
to Tottenham.
BBC Sport reports that Arsenal hope to complete the signing
of Guimaraes within the next 48 hours, with Arsenal preparing for the player to
undergo a medical.
The Brazil midfielder is awaiting permission to leave
Newcastle's training camp in La Manga, Spain, to complete the formalities of
his move to the Emirates Stadium.
