Newcastle United are reportedly refusing to budge on Bruno Guimaraes despite growing transfer speculation linking the Brazilian midfielder with a move to Arsenal.
According to TeamTalk, as reported by EPL Index, belief is building in north London that a deal worth around £70m could be enough to prise Guimaraes away from St James' Park. However, Newcastle are understood to be holding a firm stance on their prized asset, showing no signs of willingness to sanction a sale even at that valuation.
Guimaraes has been a standout performer for Eddie Howe's side since arriving from Lyon, establishing himself as one of the Premier League's most influential central midfielders. That consistency has naturally attracted interest from clubs higher up the table, with Arsenal reportedly among those exploring the possibility of an approach.
For now, though, this remains firmly in the realm of speculation rather than an active negotiation. Newcastle's reluctance to engage suggests any move for Guimaraes this summer would face significant resistance, regardless of the fee on the table.
