Arsenal Signs Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle for £75 Million

Arsenal has officially signed Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United on a four-year contract, with an additional one-year option, as announced on August 8, 2026. The transfer fee is reported to be around £75 million ($101.16 million), marking a significant addition to Mikel Arteta's squad.

Guimaraes, who has established himself as a key midfielder since joining Newcastle from Olympique Lyonnais in January 2022, played a crucial role in the club's recent successes, including their League Cup victory in 2025. He has also represented Brazil in the World Cup and has been a consistent presence in the national team.

This transfer comes as Newcastle faces challenges with the departures of key players and their manager. Guimaraes' versatility will provide Arsenal with tactical flexibility, complementing their existing midfield options as they aim to defend their Premier League title and compete in Europe.
