Bruno Guimaraes, a 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder, is on the verge of becoming Arsenal's new multimillion-dollar signing after an agreement was reached with Newcastle United this Wednesday. The transfer has been closed for 75 million pounds, around 87.5 million euros, following several weeks of negotiations.

The player had already agreed to his personal terms with the London team during the month of July. The operation is pending the medical examination, contract signing, and the subsequent official statement from both clubs.

Bruno Guimaraes completes Arsenal's midfield

The arrival of Bruno Guimaraes is a response to a request from Mikel Arteta to strengthen the midfield. The coach will be able to utilize the Brazilian alongside Declan Rice and Martín Zubimendi, two players with whom he can alternate between construction, pressure, and attacking functions.

Initially, Arsenal proposed an offer below Newcastle United's demands. Negotiations progressed throughout Tuesday, leading to an agreement for 75 million pounds, an amount to be paid over a period of 24 months.

Guimaraes had expressed his willingness to join the London team, although he did not publicly push for his departure. Personal terms were defined since July, making the negotiation between the clubs the final hurdle before scheduling the medical tests.

The midfielder was under contract with Newcastle until June 30, 2028. This association allowed St. James' Park club to demand a high amount for their captain, who was signed in January 2022 from Olympique de Lyon.

Newcastle United accepts a 87.5 million sale

Newcastle United had turned down initial approaches as they were not willing to part with one of their key players for a reduced amount. The final agreement allows the club to receive approximately 87.5 million euros and gain a profit compared to the around 50 million invested in 2022.

Bruno Guimaraes played 42 matches during the 2025/26 season and scored 2 goals. Besides his sporting involvement, he served as the team captain and played a central role in the club's planning for the new season.

His departure now obligates Newcastle to find a replacement before the market closes. The payment terms agreed with Arsenal will allow the entity to reinvest part of the amount in another midfielder in the upcoming weeks.

For Arsenal, this expenditure confirms the decision to bolster a squad that will defend the Premier League title. Arteta brings in a player with experience in English competition and avoids the adaptation period associated with players from other leagues.

The midfielder Arteta has always wanted

Guimaraes also brings different tactical solutions. He can play as a holding midfielder, take up an interior position, and contribute to ball distribution, allowing the coach to adjust the distribution of functions between Rice and Zubimendi based on the opponent.

The signing will not be official until the Brazilian completes his medical examination and signs his new contract. Once these procedures are completed, Arsenal will announce Bruno Guimaraes as their new midfielder, and Newcastle United will activate the search for a replacement before the market deadline.
