5 Jul
Summary
- Newcastle determined to retain Bruno Guimaraes despite Arsenal interest.
- Club considers Guimaraes 'priceless' and plans new contract offer.
- Felix Nmecha identified as a potential midfield transfer target.
Newcastle United is resolute in its decision to retain Bruno Guimaraes, despite significant interest from Arsenal. The club considers the Brazilian midfielder indispensable and is preparing to offer him a new contract. This stance comes after already rejecting a verbal approach for their captain, whose representatives have reportedly held discussions with multiple clubs.
With Sandro Tonali having already departed, Newcastle is seeking to secure its midfield. Felix Nmecha of Borussia Dortmund is identified as a key transfer target, although his valuation exceeds £100 million. Manchester United also shows interest in Nmecha.
Guimaraes joined Newcastle in January 2022, with Arsenal having been interested previously. His arrival and contributions, including playing a pivotal role in the club's Carabao Cup victory, have made him a fan favorite. The team is also set to confirm the arrival of winger Bazoumana Toure from Hoffenheim.
