Arsenal, Newcastle United and Bruno Guimaraes
Tuesday
Arsenal have reportedly opened direct talks with Newcastle over Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes this summer. The player is said to want a move to the Premier League champions, while Arsenal are prepared to offer around £60m.
Newcastle are expected to demand more after previously insisting Guimaraes was not for sale. Arsenal’s push follows their failure to land Morgan Rogers, who joined Chelsea in a British-record £117m deal after Villa accepted.
