Bruno Guimaraes Completes £75m Move to Arsenal

He says the transfer was a family decision for a new challenge, and his early Community Shield win shows Arsenal immediately benefited.

Overview

Guimaraes left Newcastle for Arsenal in a reported £75 million transfer that was completed on 8 August and confirmed by multiple outlets.
The midfielder told ESPN Brazil that he and his family chose the change to seek a new experience and that higher wages were not his primary motive.
Guimaraes spent almost five years at Newcastle after joining from Lyon in January 2022 and served as club captain during a period of rebuilding.
He made his first competitive appearance for Arsenal in the 3-0 Community Shield win over Manchester City on 16 August and collected his first trophy for the club.
Newcastle has seen several major departures this summer, and Guimaraes publicly thanked the club’s owners and executives for their support as he moved on.
