​Bruno Guimarães has told Newcastle United that he wishes to depart the club this summer and pursue a move to Arsenal. The Athletic has reported Guimarães’s desire to leave St James’ Park, and Arsenal are preparing to intensify their efforts to sign the Brazilian midfielder. Arsenal are prepared to lodge a bid in the region of £60 million for the 28-year-old, who still has two years remaining on his contract.

Newcastle have already offloaded midfield enforcer Sandro Tonali to Tottenham and winger Anthony Gordon to Barcelona in this transfer window, and they are reluctant to lose another key figure. However, they may face a difficult situation if Guimarães allows his contract to run down, potentially leaving on a free transfer if they do not secure a sale before his deal expires.
