Arsenal offer two first-team players plus cash to secure the signing of Newcastle United star.
Arsenal’s summer transfer window has been relatively quiet. The club has confirmed only two permanent signings: defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna and former loanee David Raya from Brentford.
However, according to a recent report from TeamNewsAndTix, Mikel Arteta’s side is preparing a major offer to acquire Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. Arsenal plans to include out-of-favor goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in a player-plus-cash deal to secure the Brazilian midfielder.
“The clubs aren’t really clear on it but they just feel that Newcastle aren’t out of the woods in terms of finances,” the outlet said. “[We were] initially told that by someone at Arsenal and, if they’re not, we could be looking at a deal with them for Bruno and Ramsdale going the other way.”
Although Newcastle has several goalkeepers on their roster—such as John Ruddy, Mark Gillespie, Martin Dubravka, Odysseas Vlachodimos, and Nick Pope—none match the quality of Ramsdale. If not for David Raya’s impressive breakthrough season, Ramsdale would still be Arteta’s first-choice keeper. However, given the circumstances, the Englishman is now looking for a new club to gain more playing time.
