Arsenal have had contact with Bruno Guimarães’ camp. A similar exploratory approach to one Manchester United made before the window opened. No contact with Newcastle as of Thursday evening, nor do #NUFC wish to sell. #AFC also one of the clubs considering Alex Scott, along with Manchester United and Spurs. Latter could advance if they fail to land Mateus Fernandes/Sandro Tonali. Ayyoub Bouaddi also on Arsenal’s list as they assess several midfield options. And #AFC made contact with Sandro Tonali in January. Andrea Berta content to explore different options before deciding on any bids.🔴

Arsenal finalising a deal for Bruno Guimarães, as revealed with @alex_crook on @talkSPORT last week. Advanced talks have been ongoing for some time. Newcastle sources have insisted formal talks only started a day ago, but verbal discussions have been ongoing for weeks. Broad agreement in place, pending final details. All parties expect the deal to go through. Guimarães has already agreed terms.⏳

STANDS

Club sources currently billing Bruno Guimarães' move to Arsenal as a fixed fee of £75m. Arsenal committed to a higher guaranteed payment than the £70m they offered last week, and with preferable payment terms to Newcastle. Yet those close to the player still insist there are some additional performance-related add-ons potentially taking the deal a bit higher.🇧🇷

Arsenal are due to bid again for Bruno G.

2026-07-27 08:02 BST

STANDS

Morning Arsenal fans. When @David_Ornstein exclusively reported on the 26th of June a proposal was sent. It was an offer below 60m and it was rejected. You then were told no bid has even been made? This happened again and again you were told…’no direct contact / no official bid’ …In early July I exclusively reported Bruno respectfully told Eddie Howe directly he wants to leave if possible for sporting reasons. Fast forward to Thursday.. widespread reports of a 70m bid…my understanding is that was also rejected in the past days. In our pursuit for our top target Tonali, it became abundantly clear the agent fees, the wages and the transfer fee was just not reflective of the player’s quality and ceiling. During this pursuit we were made aware of Bruno G’s ’desire and availability’. Enter Kia Joorabchian. If there is one thing to know about this individual is that not only is he a super agent but he mingles in super wealthy circles and even enjoys purchasing very very very expensive horses with Premier League owners. Why is that relevant? Let me explain. My understanding is that Kia has always been talking to someone very highly ranked within Newcastle. One may even suggest ownership level talks with Kia as you now know the type of circles he moves in…. So this whole process / the verbal offers have been made in THESE discussions. The Newcastle press and respect to all of them have been reporting in good faith about ‘no official offer / no direct contact’ because no Arsenal employee has not contacted them yet and no official offer has been made. On the 14th of July, I reported 80-85m is where serious talks take place. Now you are hearing ‘the number has to start with an 8’ for serious talks to begin’….When / if Kia makes a breakthrough on the fee and it’s all agreed at a high level…then the actual official bid will go in and things will move rapid. Bruno is obligated to join up with Newcastle this Friday…Kia is still in talks…feels like a really important few days. Arsenal will stick to their valuation with Kia really pushing for a breakthrough. I hope this has cleared up the dual reporting and the process somewhat. Sorry for the delay.

I’m pretty relaxed about the Bruno situation at Newcastle following today’s links to Arsenal. He wants a new contract at #nufc and has done for a while. I’m viewing it through that lens at the moment. I also don’t think Tonali really wants to go to Spurs. I’m told he would prefer Manchester City or Arsenal. As ever let’s wait and see. Any chance Newcastle could sign some new players instead of being linked with current ones leaving!!

According to transfer expert Ben Jacobs, Liverpool have also made an initial enquiry regarding Guimaraes, although no formal offer has followed. Jacobs told Redmen TV: “There was an initial inquiry on the player side with Bruno Guimaraes, and we know in the last 24/48 hours, Arsenal are the ones that have actually put a number over his head. “Liverpool just did what Manchester United did months back, they spoke with the agent and that was it. So I’m not aware that they’re progressing there either. And it wouldn’t surprise me if they want a younger kind of profile. “Plus, let’s not forget that Newcastle United don’t want to sell. If you cast your eye back to the summer when they were really doing their big midfield revamp before they got the names in, Liverpool were obviously the ones bidding for Moises Caicedo along with Chelsea. “They were trying for Romeo Lavia along with Chelsea and who knows what will happen with Romeo Lavia, but I don’t think Liverpool will be back there.”

I don’t want to do this publicly but I will if I have to do so. I have spoken to Amanda this morning and she has agreed the story is not utter nonsense. They deny they ever made a promise to Bruno that he could leave. That denial is in the article but it does not change the fact that this is what Bruno’s reps have claimed took place. One of the justifications for wanting a move. Mehrdad and Amanda deny that was ever promised. There is a lot more that could be said about things but I will leave it there out of respect #nufc
