Arsenal Set to Pay £75m for Newcastle Captain Guimaraes

Arsenal will pay £75 million to Newcastle for Bruno Guimaraes, the club’s current captain. The agreement clears the way for the 28-year-old to travel for a medical examination.

Guimaraes informed Newcastle’s leadership this summer that he would seek a move to Arsenal should an appropriate offer materialise. His contract with Newcastle runs for two more years, and the club holds an option to extend it by a further season.

Transfer negotiations timeline

Arsenal’s initial bid was declined. However, the revised £75m proposal has now been accepted, positioning Guimaraes to join the reigning Premier League champions.

The deal marks a significant acquisition for Arsenal as they strengthen their midfield ahead of the upcoming campaign. No further details on personal terms or announcement timing have been disclosed.
