Arsenal have opened talks with Newcastle United to secure midfielder Bruno Guimarães, according to The Daily Mail. The Brazil international, entering the final two years of his contract, is priced at £80 million. Hope Guimarães can replicate his 7‑goal, 9‑assist season, missing 2022. A move would boost Arsenal’s midfield depth as they chase a top‑four finish.

Manchester United join Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City in scouting 17‑year‑old Mexican prodigy Gilberto Mora, who starred in Mexico’s 3‑0 World Cup win over Czechia. United also sharpen their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha, signaling a midfield overhaul this season. The competition underscores United’s urgency to replace ageing stars and sustain their European challenge.

Elsewhere, Liverpool target Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi after his World Cup display, while Manchester City have agreed a £116 million fee for Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, setting a new British‑player record. City expect Anderson to add steel to midfield and compete in Champions League, illustrating the summer’s escalating fees and clubs’ intent to reshape squads ahead of a congested season.
