The Premier League champions initially had an offer for the 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder rejected but returned with a better proposal that Newcastle accepted. Guimaraes had expressed a desire to join Arsenal if a suitable offer was made.

Newcastle aimed to keep their captain, who has two years left on his contract, including an option for an additional year. Guimaraes, who joined Newcastle from Olympique Lyonnais in January 2022, has made 195 appearances and scored 31 goals, leading the team to a League Cup victory in 2025. His addition is expected to bolster Arsenal's midfield as they prepare to defend their Premier League title and compete in Europe.
