Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe remains uncertain about the future of midfielder Bruno Guimaraes as the summer transfer window approaches. Reports suggest that Guimaraes has expressed an interest in moving to Arsenal.
Although Arsenal has not contacted Newcastle directly, they have utilized intermediaries to investigate potential terms. This indirect approach has caused frustration within the Newcastle camp, as officials struggle to determine the sincerity of the Gunners’ interest.
Howe acknowledged his lack of clarity regarding the player’s status. He noted that he has held positive discussions with Guimaraes throughout their time working together, describing him as an exceptional individual. While he declined to discuss specific details, Howe emphasized that Guimaraes is a vital leader at the club. The manager stated that everyone at Newcastle values the player and hopes he remains with the team. Guimaraes is expected to return to the squad on July 31st.
