Newcastle United's sporting director, Ross Wilson, stated that the club did not intend to sell Guimaraes. He emphasized that the decision was influenced by Guimaraes' own desire to leave for Arsenal, labeling the player as 'very emotional' regarding the move.

Despite Newcastle's reluctance to part ways with their captain, it is reported that Guimaraes expressed a strong wish to join the Premier League champions. This emotional pull was a significant factor in the negotiations.

The transfer is seen as an important addition for Arsenal, who have further bolstered their midfield ahead of the upcoming season. Guimaraes' move adds considerable talent to their roster and fits their plans moving forward.

Earlier reports suggested that Guimaraes was content at Newcastle, with no plans disclosed for a transfer. However, the situation changed as discussions progressed, culminating in the finalized deal with Arsenal.

Guimaraes has signed a four-year contract with Arsenal, which includes an option for an additional year. This transfer marks a notable shift in his career as he takes on a new challenge at Arsenal.
