My last exclusive from the north east was spot on, and I have more news from the other team there… #NUFC and #AFC are closing in on an agreement for Bruno. Journalist’s from both sides being briefed clashing info to keep the final negotiations under wraps…
EXCL: Granit Xhaka to stay at Sunderland this summer. The player has communicated this directly to #SAFC and also to Xabi Alonso at #CFC.
Player was tempted when contact was made, but wants to stay and lead Sunderland through their European journey.
🚨EXCL: Chelsea making late push to hijack Bruno Guimarães move to #AFC as Arsenal and Newcastle close in on an agreement. Player however is thought to only want Arsenal and would potentially rather stay at #NUFC than go to Chelsea.
🚨EXCL: #THFC end pursuit of Kroupi. Spurs were interested and pushed hard, but player has decided that if he is to leave this summer, it will not be for them. #PSG#AFC#FCB are all interested.
🚨#NUFC told by #THFC that they are seeking a total package of £60m for Lucas Bergvall. Newcastle keen on player and not far off finding agreement that suits both parties (instalments & potential add ons) Unsure what this means on Guimarães currently but player wants #AFC badly.
@Alistai09247528 I think going for Bergvall could be the start. There is murmurs behind the scenes that they are coming to accept the fact that he wants to go, and this is probably their last chance to get good money for him.
Newcastle have midfield target shortlist which contains the following players.
Danilo 🇧🇷
Manzambi 🇨🇭
Bergvall 🇸🇪
Gray 🏴
IF Bruno Guimarães leaves - they will sign at least 2 more midfielders.
#NUFC
🚨30m + Add ons deal virtually agreed between Arsenal and Club Brugge for the transfer of Christos Tzolis. Trossards replacement in the door & pursuit of main target continues. Rogers a big favourite but Alvarez’ position is starting to give Arsenal some hope. #AFC
💣 Club to club discussions between #AFC & #NUFC continue regarding Bruno Guimarães. Both clubs looking to find a compromise as it is now accepted internally at Newcastle that they cannot keep their captain. Arsenal hoping for deal around 70m + small add ons.

🚨EXCL: Newcastle now resigned to losing captain Bruno Guimarães. #NUFC stance of not for sale has now changed, and they are willing to negotiate with interested clubs. Bruno only wants Arsenal. #AFC
🚨EXCL: After Bruno G told #NUFC he wants to leave, they are now resigning to losing him. Have told their captain that they want at least one more midfielder in the door before they sanction an exit. #AFC are ready to negotiate after weeks of back and forth through intermediaries

Luke Edwards does not know what is going on at Newcastle anymore. He lost all credibility last year when every single piece he reported on the ‘Isak saga’ was false. He now has former #NUFC owners calling what he posts nonsense.
Arsenal have not pulled out, and Bruno wants #AFC
