Newcastle United, Arsenal and Bruno Guimaraes
Monday
Newcastle United have rejected Arsenal’s opening offer for captain Bruno Guimaraes despite the midfielder’s reported desire to move to London. Arsenal are considering an improved bid as they attempt to strengthen Mikel Arteta’s midfield before the new season.
Guimaraes travelled to Newcastle’s Spanish camp intending to discuss his future and reportedly submit a transfer request. Newcastle remain determined to keep him, while the anticipated appointment of Matthias Jaissle has added urgency to resolving the captain’s position.
