8 Bruno Guimaraes’ camp has been contacted by Arsenal on a possible summer transfer; he may be available for less than his release clause.
Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, is a target for Arsenal this summer, according to Ben Jacobs, who reported for 90min.
Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are also rumoured to be interested.
Jacobs continues by saying that although Guimaraes has a £100 million release clause and a verbal agreement in place for him to speak with Champions League teams, Newcastle would really like to keep the midfield player.
As a result of their agreement, Newcastle will consider bids over £80 million, even if they fall short of the £100 million threshold.
According to Team News and Ticks, considered reliable for Arsenal related news, Guimaraes is among the targets Arsenal have contacted in the past week to inquire about the possibility of a summer move.
Following David Ornstein’s assertion last week that Arsenal are highly interested in Guimaraes as a player and possible signing, there have been developments.
Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal?
Arsenal have been long term admirers of the midfielder
The Gunners were interested in the Brazilian international even before his move to the Magpies.
Since his Lyon days, the Gunners monitored the midfielder and maintained a serious interest in the player.
Based on the most recent information, it appears that things may have changed, and Arsenal may now want to sign Guimaraes to play in Mikel Arteta’s midfield with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.
However, the Magpies will not make it easy for the North London to sign their midfield leader.
Newcastle hope to keep Bruno Guimaraes
Even after Newcastle’s need to sell players in order to raise funds, they hope to keep Bruno Guimaraes at the club and build their team around him.
The Brazilian midfielder has been a key component of the Magpies team and helped them qualify for the Champions League last season.
In a disappointing season for Newcastle, he has been the silver lining.
