Newcastle United Blocks Arsenal Bid, Offers New Contract to Bruno Guimaraes

Newcastle United have turned down Arsenal's opening bid for captain Bruno Guimaraes and are preparing a new contract to retain him, reportedly worth more than €200,000 per week, ahead of the next season. The club aims to keep the Brazilian midfield hub after losing Anthony Gordon and facing the possible departure of Sandro Tonali.

Arsenal remain active in the midfield market, also targeting Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha. The transfer tug‑of‑war highlights Newcastle's need to rebuild its squad while Arsenal seeks to strengthen for a title challenge.
