Fabrizio Romano Clarifies Arsenal’s Stance on Bruno Guimaraes Transfer

As Arsenal aims to bolster its squad for the upcoming season, renowned transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has shed light on the club’s alleged interest in Newcastle United’s midfield dynamo, Bruno Guimaraes.

Despite widespread speculation linking the Brazilian international with a move to North London, Romano states there has been no direct contact between Arsenal and Guimaraes or his representatives. The transfer guru addressed rumors of a £58 million bid from Arsenal, as well as claims that Newcastle might consider selling the player for £60 million if they fail to secure Champions League qualification.

Romano explained, “Despite numerous reports involving Arsenal, I’m not aware of any concrete negotiations or contact between Arsenal and Bruno Guimaraes.” He added that while Guimaraes was previously on Arsenal’s radar when Edu Gaspar was the technical director, the situation may have changed with Andrea Berta’s recent appointment to that role.

Guimaraes has been a standout performer for Newcastle this season, contributing three goals and eight assists across all competitions. His ability to break defensive lines and influence play has made him a sought-after talent in the Premier League.

As Arsenal looks to strengthen its midfield options, the club may need to explore alternative targets or wait for a more opportune moment to pursue Guimaraes. With the summer transfer window approaching, fans will be eager to see how the Gunners’ recruitment strategy unfolds under the new technical director’s guidance.
