Newcastle United Can Trigger 2029 Deal & £60million Release Clause Truth Amid Arsenal Interest
Arsenal could raise their offer to £65 million as Newcastle try to keep the Brazil midfielder and plan a new contract.
Arsenal are preparing a new bid for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, with sources suggesting a £65m offer might be enough to "tip the balance," though Newcastle maintains he is not for sale.
Last month, Newcastle rejected an opening £55m approach from the Gunners, as Eddie Howe remains determined to keep the midfielder at St James' Park, calling his abilities "priceless."
Since arriving from Lyon four years ago, Guimaraes has made 195 appearances and scored 31 goals, playing a key role in the Carabao Cup victory while currently impressing for Brazil at the World Cup.
Despite the one-year extension option in his contract, concerns following the sales of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali have left the midfielder reportedly considering his future at Newcastle.
Emphasizing the midfielder's importance, former Newcastle teammate Emil Krafth told the BBC that Guimaraes is "the most important player in the team," while Lyon holds a 20 per cent sell-on clause.
