According to the latest reports from journalist Ben Jacobs, Bruno Guimaraes has already reached an agreement on personal terms with Arsenal.
The North London club is working tirelessly behind the scenes to secure their primary midfield target, seeking to take advantage of the player’s expressed desire to join the Emirates Stadium this summer.
Ben Jacobs Update on Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal
In a detailed update, prominent reporter Ben Jacobs confirmed that Bruno Guimaraes has verbally agreed to personal terms with Arsenal.
This development represents a significant breakthrough regarding the player’s side, suggesting that contract duration and salary expectations will not pose an obstacle to the move.
However, a major obstacle remains: Newcastle United continues to maintain that their captain is not for sale this summer.
The Magpies’ hierarchy has denied any direct negotiations with Arsenal to date, upholding their public stance to protect their star player from being sold.
Nevertheless, following these successful discussions with the player’s representatives, Arsenal is expected to submit a formal bid to compel Newcastle into structured negotiations.
Arsenal Preparing Third Bid Following Two Rejections
The forthcoming proposal will mark the third attempt by Mikel Arteta’s side to reach an agreement with the Tyneside club.
Arsenal have already seen two substantial official offers declined in recent weeks.
An initial approach valued at approximately £55 million was quickly dismissed, and a subsequent, improved package totaling £65 million was also rejected by Newcastle.
Despite these setbacks, the Gunners remain determined to complete the signing.
Club leadership is currently structuring a third official bid intended to test Newcastle’s resolve.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano previously indicated that a valuation between £65 million and £90 million would likely be necessary to trigger formal club-to-club negotiations.
With Guimaraes having already notified Newcastle of his intent to join Arsenal, the Gunners are confident that a significantly increased offer can secure the deal.
Martinelli on Bruno Guimaraes: “He’s one of the best midfielders in the world.”
Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has previously praised his compatriot, highlighting the immense impact the midfielder has on the pitch.
“He’s one of the best midfielders in the world,” Martinelli told Sky Sports.
“He has incredible quality, he controls the game, and he’s a great person as well. Anyone would want him in their team.”
Martinelli’s endorsement underscores the strong connection between the two players from their time with the Brazilian national team, adding weight to the belief that Guimaraes would integrate perfectly into Arteta’s tactical system at the Emirates.
