How Arsenal is annoying Newcastle’s hierarchy in pursuit of Guimaraes

Arsenal’s interest in Bruno Guimaraes is well known, but the Gunners have still not made a formal approach to Newcastle United for the midfielder’s signature, a situation that has reportedly frustrated the Magpies.

Guimaraes represented Brazil at the World Cup and is currently enjoying his holiday. Once he returns, discussions about his future are expected to increase, while Newcastle are also planning to offer him a new contract this summer.

Arsenal interest in Guimaraes continues

Guimaraes has established himself as one of the best midfielders in England, making Arsenal’s desire to sign him unsurprising. The Gunners are looking to improve their squad and believe the Brazilian could become an important addition to their team.

Arsenal already have several high-quality players in their squad, but they remain focused on strengthening further during the transfer window. Guimaraes is believed to be one of their key targets as Mikel Arteta continues to reshape the team.

According to Sky Sports, Newcastle are yet to receive an official offer from Arsenal for Guimaraes. Instead, the report states that the Gunners have used intermediaries to communicate their interest and discuss a possible move.

Newcastle wait for official offer

Newcastle expected Arsenal to demonstrate their seriousness by submitting a formal proposal for the midfielder. An official offer would allow the Magpies to properly assess the situation and decide whether they are willing to negotiate.

Although Newcastle do not want to sell Guimaraes, they understand that every player has a price. If Arsenal make their interest official, the club are expected to inform them of the valuation required to sign the Brazil international.

The situation could develop further once Guimaraes returns from his holiday. For now, Arsenal remain interested, but they must take a more direct approach if they want to convince Newcastle to consider allowing one of their most important players to leave.
