Arsenal prepare new offer for Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes after two bids rejected  | OneFootball

Arsenal are preparing to lodge a new transfer bid to sign Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes, per Fabrizio Romano. 

The Gunners have had two offers rejected by Newcastle, with the last one valued at £65 million. But they are preparing a new proposal to lure the midfielder away from St James’ Park.

Arsenal are looking to add a top central midfielder to the squad and have identified Guimaraes as an ideal option. 

Newcastle have maintained they have no interest in selling the Brazil international, who has two years left on his current contract.  

But their position has been weakened after the player informed the club of his wish to join Arsenal this summer. 

Guimaraes has been Newcastle’s most important player in recent years. 

He has made 195 appearances across all competitions, bagging 31 goals and 32 assists in the process. 

The 28-year-old played a pivotal role in their League Cup triumph in 2024-25, which ended the club’s 70-year wait for a domestic trophy. 

He was part of Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad at the World Cup 2026, starting every game before they were eliminated by Norway in the round of 16. 

Newcastle have already lost Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali to Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur respectively. 

They are desperate to keep hold of Guimaraes, but it appears he has his heart set on a move to Arsenal. 

The Brazilian has reached the stage of his career where he belongs at the very highest level, competing for major trophies every year.
