The Brazilian, who signed with Newcastle in January 2022 for a whopping £40 million cost, is reportedly of interest to the Gunners, according to recent sources. The 26-year-old is unlikely to relocate to the Emirates Stadium this summer, football.london understands.

Making over 100 appearances and contributing 14 goals and 14 assists, Guimaraes has been a vital member of Eddie Howe’s team. The Brazil international’s contract includes a £100 million release clause that runs out at the end of June, as Magpies manager Howe has now disclosed.

Furthermore, Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli, Guimaraes’ colleagues from Brazil, have shared what makes him exceptional. In addition to complimenting his technical skill, both players have spoken highly of his off-field character.


According to Martinelli, “I know this boy he’s good on the ball,” Sky Sports. He was with me at the Olympics and was crucial to the team.

“I’ve seen the quality of his skill. He is among the top midfielders in the world, in my opinion. He recently became a father; congrats! He’s also a really nice guy. He will definitely be crucial for us at the World Cup, in my opinion.
Jesus went on, “He’s quiet yet he controls the game. He’s very good with the ball because he’s the balance on the pitch.

“Without the ball, he runs a lot, helps a lot the team and then as a person I just know him in the national team but I can just feel he’s a good guy as well.”
