Arsenal have been warned that they need to sign Bruno Guimarães, after the club’s captain missed training with the squad ahead of the new season. The report is based on material from Independent and Sky Sports.

According to Sky Sports, Guimarães is in Spain, where he is supposed to take part in Newcastle’s pre-season camp in La Manga. However, as Sky Sports News reports, he did not show up for the training session planned for Sunday, and it remains unclear when the midfielder will return to the club.

Independent writes that the midfielder’s absence could be related to his desire to leave the club. The publication also cites statistics for Guimarães: he scored 31 goals in 195 matches for Newcastle after joining the club from Lyon in 2022.

It is also reported that Guimarães has already turned down a contract extension offer from Antonio Gordon at Newcastle. Independent adds that the transfer fee for Guimarães could be around the same amount as his release clause.

Independent says that Guimarães, after leaving Brazil’s national team, returned to Newcastle and is now waiting for a decision from the club. Material suggests that Arsenal are interested in signing him, but the club may not agree to a transfer.

Sky Sports adds that Arsenal could be forced to make a move for Guimarães after his absence. It also says that the midfielder wants to leave the club and that his contract includes a clause that could allow him to go to another team.
