Bruno Guimaraes has received permission to travel to Arsenal and complete his £75m move from Newcastle United. The 28-year-old midfielder will undergo a medical at the Premier League champions within the coming days after both clubs agreed a fee with an announcement of his signing expected shortly afterwards.
The deal represents a key piece of business of Mikel Arteta ahead of Arsenal’s title defence – while Newcastle will be left to wave goodbye to another key player following the departures of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali this summer.
Arsenal, however, will have to accept failure in their pursuit of Vinicius Jr after the winger penned a contract extension at Real Madrid until 2032.
Liverpool, meanwhile, want to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain and have also lined up his teammate Ibrahim Mbaye in what could be a double swoop for Andoni Iraola’s side. The European champions may be willing to let them go with Maghnes Akliouche is set to join from Monaco.
Elsewhere, Manchester United want to sign a left-back with Lewis Hall reportedly now set on a move to Old Trafford, but Newcastle are determined to stop the exodus and insist he is not for sale.
