Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes informs the club hierarchy that he wants to leave and join Arsenal, according to multiple reports. Sky Sports News and other outlets say Guimaraes has directly told Newcastle of his desire to move to the Premier League champions. The reports present the communication as coming from the midfielder to the club rather than as an already completed transfer.
One source, The Athletic, adds further detail on potential negotiations, saying Arsenal are prepared to pay up to £60 million for Guimaraes. Across the reports, Newcastle is described as receiving the message from their captain, while the extent of any official offer and the timing of talks are not fully established in the information provided.
No agreement is reported in the provided articles. The situation is framed as Newcastle dealing with a major request from a key player as Arsenal weigh an approach, potentially within a stated valuation range.
