Arsenal land Bruno Guimarães in £75m move from Newcastle
Arsenal have completed the signing of Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle United, with the Brazil midfielder joining on a four-year deal that includes an option for a further season. The fee is reported as £75 million, ending a long-running transfer saga that had intensified over the past week.
Guimarães, who captained Newcastle, had made clear earlier in the summer that he wanted to leave, and Newcastle ultimately accepted a sale after what club sources described as a reluctant decision. Arsenal have framed the move as a major addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad as they look to bolster their title defense.
The transfer also signals another significant reshaping of Newcastle’s squad, with club figures acknowledging that the player’s wish to depart was a major factor in the outcome. Arsenal, meanwhile, introduced Guimarães to supporters at Emirates Stadium after the deal was formally announced.
