Arsenal and Newcastle reach agreement! Bruno Guimaraes set for giant Premier League transfer after Gunners raise bid

Arsenal have secured an agreement with Newcastle United to sign midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. The transfer follows an increased offer from the Gunners, with the deal now valued at €90 million plus additional performance-related bonuses. Guimaraes has already agreed to personal terms on a long-term contract that will keep him in North London through 2031.

The 28-year-old Brazilian international expressed a clear desire to join Mikel Arteta’s squad to compete at the highest level of European football. As part of this transition, Guimaraes has requested a delay in his travel for Newcastle's pre-season training camp. This move allows the midfielder to finalize the logistics of his transfer.

For Newcastle, this sale marks another significant change during a busy summer window. The club has previously finalized exits for Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon while navigating a change in leadership following the departure of manager Eddie Howe. Lyon, the midfielder's former club, will also receive a financial boost from the deal due to a sell-on clause.

Arsenal expects to complete the remaining administrative steps, including the medical examination, in the coming days. Once the final contract details and agent fees are signed, Guimaraes will officially join his new teammates at the Emirates Stadium to prepare for the upcoming campaign.
