According to the latest report from Newcastle's local media outlet "The Chronicle", Arsenal believes £65 million is sufficient to sign Guimarães, but has not yet made an official bid.

Arsenal reportedly believes £65 million would be enough to secure Guimarães, though they have yet to submit a formal offer. Should Newcastle receive genuinely high bids for both Tonali and Guimarães at prices meeting their demands, an injection of around £165 million would undoubtedly reshape Eddie Howe's transfer strategy, though his current budget remains limited.

There has been no direct contact between the clubs regarding Guimarães's transfer, with all discussions conducted through intermediaries. Claims that Arsenal was prepared to bid £45 million for Guimarães were quickly denied by those involved.

Newcastle's stance on Guimarães remains firm. Eddie Howe is unwilling to sell the team captain, and the club has explicitly stated the Brazilian midfielder is "not for sale". Guimarães himself has made no public comment on the matter, and his agent has not responded to recent speculation about the player's future.

Arsenal's view is that any bid for Guimarães exceeding £50 million would represent good business, as his value will decline over the next 24 months unless he signs a new contract.

Newcastle has not offered Guimarães a new contract in the past 12 months, leaving his future uncertain. He has since departed to participate in the Copa América, though Newcastle's management noted that Guimarães's current deal still has two years remaining.

After receiving an official bid of approximately £80 million from Tottenham Hotspur on 20 June for Tonali, Newcastle has received no further offers. The bid was immediately rejected, and Newcastle denied reports that Tottenham was asked to increase their offer to £85 million.

Tottenham will need to submit a fresh bid of nearly £100 million for Tonali. Tonali himself is reported to have accepted Tottenham's weekly wage offer of £275,000, and his agency, GR Sports, will receive 10% of the transfer fee.

These terms deterred Arsenal, prompting them to turn their attention to Guimarães instead. Newcastle's failure to qualify for European competition, their precarious financial situation, and their vulnerable league position have made their star players attractive targets.
