Bruno Guimaraes is Arsenal’s leading transfer target this summer as the Gunners look to strengthen their squad with elite talent.
Having won the league and reached the Champions League final, Arsenal are no longer in a position where they can pursue just any player. Instead, the club are focusing their attention on signing some of the best performers in world football.
Arsenal remain determined to sign Guimaraes
Guimaraes is widely regarded as one of the finest midfielders in the game, and he reinforced that reputation with his performances for Brazil at the World Cup, giving Arsenal even more reason to pursue his signature.
The midfielder has been on Arsenal’s radar for some time and continues to excel at Newcastle United, where he has established himself as the club’s captain and one of their most influential players.
Newcastle are reluctant to sell Guimaraes, which is understandable after already losing Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon during the current transfer window.
Newcastle face a renewed Arsenal approach
Despite their stance, circumstances could still force Newcastle to consider offers for the Brazilian if the right proposal arrives.
Arsenal have already seen an opening bid rejected by Newcastle, but according to Football365, the Gunners are preparing to submit an improved offer in an attempt to secure his signature.
With Brazil now out of the World Cup, Guimaraes can turn his full attention to his club future. The report adds that he is becoming increasingly open to the prospect of joining Arsenal, with just two years remaining on his Newcastle United contract.
That contractual situation could become an important factor in negotiations, particularly if Newcastle wish to avoid allowing one of their most valuable players to enter the final stages of his current deal without agreeing fresh terms or completing a transfer.
Arsenal will hope a renewed approach is enough to test Newcastle’s resolve as they continue their pursuit of one of their priority targets this summer.

You forget that Newcastle have an option for another year. If Anderson is worth 116m and Tonali £100m then you need to START at £100m, but even that might ot be enough as Newcastle DO NOT WANT TO SELL.
could pair up well with rice but idt we should be signing another midfielder we need a winger…
He has apparently just stated that he wants to join Arsenal.
Newcastle really won’t want to lose Guimaraes obviously, but they may be powerless if we are seriously in for him at this point. If we get him for ~£55m it will be a good capture for us and strengthen our midfield options. Also our shithousery opportunities 🙂
I’d honestly rather prefer Manu Kone right now, mainly just cos Bruno has annoyed me so much over the last few years, but I can’t deny that adding him would give us more reliable depth and solidity. And we still have our “Spanish army knife” Merino, and MLS growing in stature.
55m ? You only taking his left leg ? He kicks with his right, Anderson 116m Tonali 100m Bruno 55m somehow I don’t think so
