Arsenal sign Guimaraes from Newcastle in £75m deal

Arsenal has acquired Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United for a fee of £75 million. The former captain of Newcastle expressed his desire to join the Premier League champions earlier this summer. The 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder has signed a four-year contract with an option for an additional year, describing the decision as one of the "most challenging" of his life. "This move is very tough because Newcastle means so much to me," he added. "But I wanted to experience something new in my life. I feel ready for a new challenge for myself and my family."Newcastle extended their best wishes to Guimaraes and his family.
Earlier this week, Guimaraes departed from Newcastle's training camp in La Manga, Spain, to finalize his transfer to the Emirates Stadium following a successful negotiation.

He mentioned that he received messages from several of his future teammates, including compatriot Gabriel and fellow midfielder Declan Rice. After their previous encounters on the pitch, Rice humorously told him, "come here and please no more fights, now we're friends." "At this stage of my life, I believe I need a challenge like this," Guimaraes remarked. "I want to win trophies, I want to make history and I think I'm in the right place to do it. I'm so excited to start."
Guimaraes joined Newcastle during a period of relegation concerns in January 2022 and played a pivotal role in their resurgence under former head coach Eddie Howe. The Brazilian became the first captain in seventy years to lift a significant domestic trophy for Newcastle after their victory over Liverpool in the 2025 Carabao Cup final.

He was also part of the team that qualified for the Champions League in 2023 and 2025, although they fell to 12th place in the Premier League last season.
