Arsenal Signs Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle for £75 Million

Arsenal has successfully signed Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle, completing the transfer on Saturday for a reported fee of £75 million.

Guimarães, who has signed a long-term contract with Arsenal, expressed his excitement about the move, stating his desire for new challenges and the ambition to win trophies. Despite Newcastle's reluctance to sell their captain, the 28-year-old midfielder had indicated his wish to leave the club.

Since joining Newcastle from Lyon in January 2022, Guimarães has become a key player, contributing to the team's success, including winning the English League Cup in 2025. His departure follows the exits of other star players from Newcastle, and he will continue to wear the number 39 shirt, a tribute to his father's taxi business in Brazil.
