United KingdomNewcastle United has rejected Arsenal's initial £80 million bid for midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, with the offer falling significantly short of the club's asking price. Despite the rejection, Arsenal remains interested and is expected to make further bids for the Brazilian international, who is eager to move to north London. Negotiations have occurred through third parties, with Guimaraes' representatives engaging informally with Newcastle sources. The 28-year-old has already arrived in Spain on a pre-agreed travel plan and is set to report to Newcastle's training base. While Guimaraes is keen to leave, unlike last year's situation with Alexander Isak, there are no signs of resistance. He is expected to depart this summer, becoming the third major exit for Newcastle after Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon. The club acknowledges the need to bring in experienced midfield cover if Guimaraes leaves, with Porto's Victor Froholdt among potential targets.
