Arsenal and Manchester City are set to abandon their pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes

Arsenal and Manchester City have been linked with a move for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes in recent months.

However, a report from Football Insider claims that Arsenal and Man City have now made a decision on their pursuit of the Brazilian. They are likely to miss out on signing the midfielder this summer.

Bruno Guimaraes will be available for a fee of around £100m this summer and the two English clubs are not willing to pay that kind of money for him.

Guimaraes has been a key player for Newcastle since joining the club and is arguably one of the best central midfielders in the league. Signing him would have been a major coup.

While there is no doubt that Guimaraes is a quality player with a bright future, it seems highly unlikely that any club would be willing to pay £100m for him.

it will be interesting to see if Arsenal and Manchester City decide to push for other options in the market.

Bruno Guimaraes would improve Arsenal and Man City

Bruno Guimaraes will be hoping to compete at the highest level and staying at Newcastle for another season might not be the most appealing option for him. Whether he can convince the Magpies to lower his asking price and let the player move on for a more reasonable sum of money remains to be seen.

The Brazilian has proven himself in the Premier League and will look to challenge himself at a higher level. A move to Arsenal or Manchester City could be ideal for him. It remains to be seen how the situation evolves.

It’s no secret that Arsenal need to bring in a quality central midfielder to partner Declan Rice. The Brazilian would be the ideal purchase. He is well established in English football and could make an instant impact. He will help Arsenal control proceedings in the middle of the park and dictate the tempo of the game.

Meanwhile, Manchester City need someone with his established skills to pair with Rodri in midfield as well. Players like Matheus Nunes have been quite disappointing since joining the club and Bruno Guimaraes would be an upgrade.
