Arsenal close to signing Bruno Guimaraes for €90 million
Arsenal and Newcastle United have reached an agreement in principle to transfer Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. The deal is reported to be worth around €90 million (about £77 million plus add‑ons) after earlier offers of €70 million and €80 million were rejected. Guimaraes has given his consent and signed a contract that runs until the summer of 2031. A medical examination for the player has been scheduled, marking the final step before completion.
The transfer would be Arsenal’s fourth signing of the summer, following arrivals such as Piero Hincapie, Christos Tzolis and Illan Meslier. Newcastle have already sold midfielder Sandro Tonali earlier in the window. Guimaraes’ agent, Alexis Malavolta, posted a cryptic Instagram story featuring Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr., sparking speculation about a future Arsenal signing of the Brazilian forward.
