Newcastle prepares for possible Guimaraes transfer amid Arsenal interest

Newcastle United is reportedly preparing a contingency plan for Bruno Guimaraes amid ongoing interest from Arsenal. While Newcastle insists Guimaraes is not for sale this summer, they are considering a move for Danilo Santos from Botafogo as a potential replacement if Guimaraes leaves. Arsenal plans to submit a significant bid for the midfielder soon, adding pressure on Newcastle, who have already lost key players. Despite the situation, Guimaraes remains central to Newcastle's plans, making any transfer complicated.
