Arsenal Frontrunner for Guimaraes as PSG Shifts Focus
Arsenal appear to have a clear path to signing Bruno Guimaraes after PSG reportedly cooled their interest in the Newcastle midfielder. Both clubs were vying for his signature, but transfer expert Ben Jacobs reports PSG are now prioritizing Bernardo Silva instead.
This is a double positive for Arsenal. Firstly, they face less competition for Guimaraes, who remains a key target for Mikel Arteta. Secondly, Manchester City, a direct rival, could lose a crucial player in Silva.
However, landing Guimaraes won’t be cheap. His €116 million release clause needs to be met in full.
