Given Newcastle’s need to fix their finances to meet Premier League rules, they might accept a lower offer mixed with player trades.
Players that may leave
At Arsenal, changes are looming. Players like Oleksandr Zinchenko, Emile Smith Rowe, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Eddie Nketiah, and Thomas Partey may leave. These players could move to Newcastle, helping Arsenal lower Guimarães’ price.
Bringing Guimarães to Arsenal would boost their team, and they plan to propose paying in parts, as they have with other deals. Arsenal’s next steps in the transfer market could shape their season. Will their strategy pay off? Time will tell.
