Arsenal reaches agreement with Newcastle for Bruno Guimaraes

Arsenal has reached a definitive agreement with Newcastle United to sign Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. Following an initial report of advanced negotiations and a potential bid of 88 million euros, sources confirmed on July 31, 2026, that the clubs finalized a deal worth 90 million euros. The 28-year-old international player has also reportedly agreed on the terms for a multi-year contract with the London-based Premier League champions.

Guimaraes, who joined Newcastle in the summer of 2022, was a key figure for the club, having recently participated in the World Cup in North America. During the previous season, he recorded 41 appearances across all competitions, contributing 9 goals and 8 assists. This high-profile transfer is expected to significantly bolster manager Mikel Arteta's midfield options as the team looks to maintain its competitive edge in the Premier League. The move follows a period of persistence from Arsenal, which successfully overcame Newcastle's initial resistance to the transfer.
