Newcastle Speaks on Guimarães Transfer
The article discussed the approaching transfer of Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimarães to Arsenal for around 75 million pounds, following weeks of negotiations. Newcastle officials clarified that selling the player was not initially part of the club's plans, but Guimarães's desire to leave prompted the club to approve the deal, despite their wish to secure a higher fee. Newcastle's sporting director stated that the club preferred to receive more than the final amount, but nonetheless, the agreement is considered satisfactory for both sides, with approximately 7 million pounds paid as an additional element to the French player, based on a resale clause. Sources confirmed that the decision to sell came after Guimarães expressed a sincere desire to depart, even though his leaving is a significant loss for the team, especially given the challenging circumstances the club faces this summer, following the departure of some players and the appointment of a new coach.
