Arsenal are very close to securing Bruno Guimarães in a permanent transfer from Newcastle worth £75 million, approximately €87 million. According to Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between the two clubs are practically complete. The Brazil international, who was under contract with the Magpies until 2028, is expected to become the new focal point of Mikel Arteta’s midfield. With the midfielder’s departure looming, Newcastle are already looking for a replacement and have recently been linked with Victor Froholdt.
With Bruno Guimarães’ arrival well on track, the London club are now turning their attention to their next major target: Vinícius Júnior. The Brazilian winger’s future at Real Madrid remains undecided, as there are still no guarantees over a contract renewal. Arsenal are following the situation closely and intend to take advantage of the uncertainty in an attempt to bring another star into their attack.
It should be remembered that Bruno Guimarães came close to joining Benfica before moving to Lyon in 2020. The defensive midfielder ultimately chose the French league, from where he later made the move to the Premier League. Now, he is on the verge of completing one of the biggest transfers of the summer window in England.
