Arsenal must pay up for Bruno Guimaraes
Meanwhile, Arsenal are looking to secure his signature, but they will have to pay a premium in order to get the deal done. According to the report, Arsenal are yet to come forward with an official proposal to sign the Brazilian. There has been contact between the two clubs, and agreeing on personal terms with the player will not be difficult. There is an agreement in principle between Arsenal and the midfielder, and the two clubs will need to sort out a deal now.
It appears that Arsenal are hoping to sign the player for less than £80 million, but Newcastle United want to recoup something close to what they received for Sandro Tonali. Guimaraes has been hailed as a “special” player in the past.

Guimaraes will cost a premium
Tottenham paid around £100 million for the Italian midfielder, and it is highly unlikely that Arsenal will pay that kind of money for the Brazilian. He is 28, and there will be no resale value. Newcastle will have to be reasonable in their demands for the move to go through.
Guimaraes will certainly hope to join a big club at the stage of his career. He has himself in the Premier League over the years, and he will look for a team where he can win major trophies. Arsenal also need more control and technical ability in the middle of the park, and the Brazilian could transform them.
Oh we have to ‘get reasonable’ in our requests do we, while everyone else can jack prices up to ridiculous sizes?
Get real man – we’re talking about a real top quality performer here. If the non-productive 5 yard passing Anderson can be worth £113m (despite his age), a current Brazil International who is a driving force and captain for our club cant be worth £60m LESS.
We just don’t exist here to make top clubs happy.
to me the most important transfer would be Alvarez and get rid of gyokeres swap or not must buy a top centre forward Havetz is probably at the end of his Darren and gyokeres is the worst player ever to wear an Arsenal shirt
