Bruno Guimarães al Arsenal por 80 millones de euros, acuerdo a punto.

🚨🚨🚨 Arsenal have sealed the signing of Bruno Guimaraes for 70m pounds fixed and 10m pounds in bonuses -Bruno Andrade @SportsCenterBR

@triwizardteal The article does also say that the financial gap between them remains significant

@afcevan Ornstein tweet got me hyped, but Cortegana saying Vinicius is now open to lowering his demands to stay

Now we wait. Whatever happens over the next few days, Arsenal are showing some incredible ambition here. The possibility of seeing Vinicius Junior, one of the world's best players, lining up in red and white does not even feel real. Fingers crossed.

🚨 Vinicius Junior future entering crucial stage - talks in coming days over extension at Real Madrid, free exit 2027 or join Arsenal now. #AFC all in & 26yo winger attracted by opportunity if no #RMFC renewal. W/ @MarioCortegana @gunnerblog @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/74846…

Hesitant excitement. Nothing decided but there are plenty of reasons for Vini to join Arsenal. This is a chance to become the face of the world's biggest football league, end the wait for a massive club's first UCL, and lead a Brazilian revolution to the Premier League. 🇧🇷

@bryceafc_ Without a doubt imo

@afcevan Dare I say this would be a significantly bigger signing than Özil…

This might actually happen...

We fully expect Roc Nation to deny it but we stand on our information. The ball is in Vini Jnr’s court.

@HandofArsenal @MrArsenicTM WOW

🚨 EXCL : Arsenal Football Club have personal terms agreed in principle with Vinicius Junior. Roc Nation will go armed into negotiations with Real Madrid with a monstrous offer from the English Champions…….over to you Vinicius Junior. Story W/ @MrArsenicTM

🚨 Understand that momentum is moving in Arsenal's favour regarding the future of Vinicius Junior. After Real Madrid's latest and 'final' contract offer, the player will not rush into a decision, but sentiment is shifting. Full story 👇 football.london/arsenal-fc/tra…

📲 Bruno Guimarães’ agent, Alexis Malavolta, on Instagram. 👀🇧🇷

🔴Understand that Arsenal have reserved a date next week for the possibility of Bruno Guimaraes' medical at London Colney. Agreement in principal is £77m plus add-ons. Contract not signed yet and finer details to sort but a deal is close now. Next 48 hours crucial #afc

🚨 Before Arsenal can even think about formalising their interest in Vinicius Jr, they need the player to decide his future at the Bernabeu. The Spanish club have offered him a new contract, buttalks are at an impasse, with neither party willing to budge as it stands. Real Madrid, of course, want the player to renew. Truth be told, Vini Jr would like to stay. But given his current deal expires next summer, opening up the prospect of Real losing him for nothing, the La Liga side need a resolution this summer. If a new contract can't be agreed - that's when Arsenal come in. But the cost of the deal to bring Vini Jr to the Emirates would be one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive, transfers in British football history in terms of a fee and wages. Internally, the Gunners believe they have the financial means to complete the transfer. They are also confident the player would join. However, there are still a lot of ifs, buts and maybes to be resolved before Arsenal find themselves in a position to execute a deal they believe they can pull off. @SamiMokbel_BBC Link via @AfcCawley bbc.com/sport/football…

Sobre Vini: -En el Arsenal siguen creyendo que tienen muchas opciones de ficharle. -En el Madrid dicen que todo depende de Vinicius. Si Vini quiere salir no le pondrán ninguna traba. @ESPNDeportes

Arsenal hope to seal Bruno Guimarães transfer in coming days: - Player in Brazil w/Dad + agent - Reaffirmed desire to join #AFC - Hosted fam party in prep for #NUFC return - Due back today but delayed - Last verbal bid £70m + £5m - May reach £85m w/adds mirror.co.uk/sport/football…

Arsenal hoping to conclude Bruno deal in the coming days so the player can join up with the squad in Dublin next week. Probably be a bit of an overpay at £75-80m but we won’t care about that extra £10/£15m when he’s winning us points. Fingers crossed no snags/further delays🤞🏼
