Newcastle United has officially set the transfer valuation for one of its key players, Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães, amidst growing interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal.
According to reports from the Operative Information Center-OMM, Arsenal is actively engaged in negotiations to secure the 26-year-old's services. Renowned football insider Nicolò Schira reports that Arsenal management is preparing an offer in the region of 90 million euros. However, Newcastle United remains reluctant to part with a cornerstone of their squad, insisting that any transfer fee must meet their valuation of at least 120 million euros.
The player's personal ambitions are expected to play a significant role in the ongoing transfer saga. Sources indicate that Guimarães is interested in continuing his career at Arsenal and has reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms for a contract extending until 2031. Last season, the Brazilian midfielder made 41 appearances for Newcastle, contributing 9 goals and 8 assists.
With the new Premier League season scheduled to commence in August, Arsenal is expected to submit an improved offer in the coming days to test Newcastle's resolve. The Premier League, widely regarded as the most competitive football league in the world, often sees significant transfer activity during the summer window as clubs look to bolster their squads for the upcoming campaign.
