Arsenal close to signing Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle

Bruno Guimaraes Arsenal Newcastle United €90 million transfer 2026 summer window

Arsenal have reached an agreement in principle with Newcastle United to sign Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. The clubs have settled on a fee of about €90 million (roughly £77 million to £85 million) plus bonuses, and the player has agreed personal terms on a contract that runs until the summer of 2031. A medical for Guimaraes has been scheduled at London Colney, and the transfer is expected to be announced within days. The deal follows earlier rejected offers of €70 million and €80 million, and is driven by Newcastle’s failure to qualify for European competition next season, prompting Guimaraes to seek a move to a club playing in the Champions League. Arsenal’s director Andrea Berta has been leading the negotiations, while Newcastle’s recent managerial change – Eddie Howe’s departure – has cleared the way for the sale.
