Arsenal agree deal for Bruno Guimaraes

sportsJul 31, 202631223

Arsenal have reached an agreement with Newcastle United to sign Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, with multiple reports putting the fee at about £77 million and some outlets citing around €90 million. Nowarsenal credits journalist Hugo Guillemet for reporting that Guimaraes has agreed a five-year contract with Arsenal, though some bonus details still need finalising. Newcastle had resisted selling their captain during protracted talks, and sources say a structured payment package helped bridge the gap between clubs. Formalities including a medical and final paperwork remain pending before either club makes an official announcement. L'Equipe and the BBC have separately reported growing expectation that the deal will be completed, while other coverage noted Guimaraes delayed joining Newcastle’s pre-season plans as negotiations progressed. If completed, the transfer would be a major midfield addition for Arsenal as they prepare for the new season, and further updates are expected in the coming days.

77 is just about right for them and us. I dont feel we have overpaid, and despite 115 and Chelski doing their bit to distort the market, 77 million is still a big fee to NUFC

I’m almost feeling sorry for Newcastle but that’s good business for us.

Without emotion, 77m is better deal for nufc than afc With emotion, it's about 100m too short for our capitao!

Arsenal in advanced talks for Bruno Guimaraes and are optimistic on striking a deal for north of £75m. Although #NUFC firmly deny a formal bid, talks ongoing and could move quickly. As with Christos Tzolis, Arsenal approach to agree a verbal package then formally bid.🇧🇷

Always a bit gross watching Ben play pretend journalist.

No, it’s destabilise and unsettle a player under contract to drive a price down.

You on a retainer, Ben?

All they need to do is make an offer. The so-called sports journalists have been repeating the same crap for weeks.

Blimey. Hope so and if this happens and he still goes, you have to respect his decision. He hasn't bottled it like Isak. He's manned up and listened.

James Blancoblack3

I've heard from a German contact that our new man is highly motivated and a great communicator with a ton of charisma. You never know, he might just inspire Bruno. PMA.

Martin Rix2

Isak would never have gone to the training camp. This is why Bruno will remain loved whatever happens.

Sam-I-Am2

Jaissle being given a four year contract… Club must have high hopes then.

Pablo Blanco2

That Maastricht flight you mentioned - it was RW getting the new manager sorted if that Chronicle report is correct.

Would read it if that website wasn’t such an utter s**t show

[Luke Edwards] (On Howe's departure from newcastle) "The decision was taken as Howe believes the club will eventually sell captain Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal this summer, meaning he would have lost four prominent players in just 12 months."

The Newcastle project looks like it's unravelling. Bruno Guimaraes more likely to go to Arsenal now?
