Arsenal is getting ready to make a £70m bid for Newcastle United's captain Bruno Guimaraes. They want to boost their midfield before the new season kicks off.
Guimaraes, who plays for Brazil, is a top target for the Premier League champions. Arsenal aims to add more skill and experience to their team after winning the title last season.
BBC Sport reported on Thursday that Guimaraes is likely open to joining Arsenal. Newcastle knows that the midfielder prefers to move to the north London club this summer.
Discussions about the transfer have picked up pace in recent days. But it is still unclear if Arsenal's £70m offer will be enough to persuade Newcastle to let go of their captain.
Arsenal is eager to sign high-quality players. But they are sticking to their strategy on transfer prices. The club does not want to pay more than what they believe a player is worth.
Previously, Arsenal showed interest in Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers. However, they did not match Chelsea’s £117m bid because they valued Rogers at £80m.
