English club Arsenal seeks to bolster the first team's ranks during the ongoing summer transfer window with a strong deal at the midfield level.
Declan Rice's physical condition over the past 6 months has raised concerns, especially since the start of the 2026 World Cup, in which he is participating with England.
Rice endured a grueling season with Arsenal, playing more minutes than any other player, in addition to suffering since the beginning of the year from a nerve issue that affected his lower back and hamstrings.
Bruno Guimarães pushes for a move to Arsenal
According to renowned journalist David Ornstein, Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimarães has expressed his desire to leave and join Arsenal.
The transfer market expert added: "Bruno is intensifying his efforts to join Arsenal, which is now prepared to table a deal worth up to £60 million."
Ornstein continued via his "X" account: "At present, however, there have been no contacts between the two clubs yet, and Newcastle's stance remains unwelcoming to offers for the 28-year-old player."
Bruno Guimarães holds a contract with Newcastle until June 2028, and recently exited the 2026 World Cup in the round of 16 after a 1-2 defeat to Norway.
