Arsenal have agreed a reported £75 million deal to sign Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes, according to Sky Sports and other British media. Newcastle rejected Arsenal’s opening offer earlier this week before accepting an improved bid. Reuters said it had contacted both clubs for confirmation, so the agreement had not been officially confirmed in the report.
The 28-year-old Brazil midfielder joined Newcastle from Lyon in January 2022. He has made 195 appearances, scored 31 goals and captained the club to League Cup success in 2025. His reported departure would follow Newcastle’s exits of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, along with manager Eddie Howe.
If completed, the transfer would strengthen Arsenal’s midfield while leaving Newcastle facing further change. The reported fee is substantial, but its value will depend on Guimaraes’ performances and Arsenal’s wider season. Newcastle supporters may reasonably be concerned about losing an influential captain. However, the clubs had not officially confirmed the agreement, so firm conclusions should wait for an announcement.
