Guimarães distances self from saga as Newcastle snub Arsenal offer
Newcastle United have firmly rejected a £55 million opening bid from newly crowned Premier League champions Arsenal for their captain, Bruno Guimarães, who remains strictly focused on Brazil’s ongoing World Cup campaign.
Newcastle United have rejected an initial £55 million transfer bid from Arsenal for midfield maestro Bruno Guimarães.
The North London club launched a direct approach to secure the highly-rated playmaker following their historic domestic title win.
However, the Magpies quickly dismissed the exploratory offer, firmly reiterating that their 28-year-old club captain is absolutely not for sale during this summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Guimarães has deliberately detached himself from the escalating transfer saga to avoid any unnecessary distractions.
The midfielder is currently on international duty in the United States, where he has provided three vital assists for Brazil.
He insists his immediate priority remains entirely focused on delivering a successful World Cup campaign before addressing any domestic club future questions.
