Here is the latest update from the 2026 FIFA World Cup as of 2026-07-09 00:25:00.
Arsenal is poised to intensify its pursuit of Bruno Guimarães following reports that the midfielder is keen on a move. However, a significant hurdle remains as the Gunners and Newcastle struggle to agree on a transfer fee, sources have informed ESPN.
Newcastle’s Reluctance to Sell
Newcastle United is not eager to part ways with the 28-year-old player, but it appears they recognize that Guimarães has expressed a desire to join Arsenal. The Gunners are believed to be willing to offer around £60 million ($80 million) for his services, but Newcastle has rejected this valuation.
Manager Eddie Howe’s team understands the complications that could arise from losing both Guimarães and Sandro Tonali, who recently finalized a £100 million ($134 million) move to Tottenham. Additionally, Anthony Gordon has already transferred to Barcelona for £69.3 million ($92.8 million), intensifying the challenge for Norwich.
Contract Talks with Guimarães
Newcastle is currently in discussions to secure Guimarães’ future with a new contract. The club is in a strong position given that his current deal runs until 2028, which includes an option to extend for another year. This gives Newcastle leverage in negotiations.
Arsenal has yet to engage in direct talks with Newcastle, leaving uncertainty about whether Guimarães might force a move or if Newcastle will reconsider their stance. Guimarães was a part of the Brazilian national team that faced an unexpected exit from the FIFA World Cup 2026 after being eliminated in the round of 16 by Norway. Since joining Newcastle from Lyon in January 2022, he has made 153 appearances in the Premier League.
