Bruno Guimaraes Departure Sparks Newcastle to Increase Lucas Bergvall Offer

Newcastle United will make an improved offer for Tottenham Hotspur ace Lucas Bergvall immediately as Bruno Guimaraes edges closer to leaving the Magpies.

What happened?

Reports emerged on 21 July that Arsenal have now opened direct transfer talks for the Magpies captain, with the Gunners willing to pay up to £60million for the midfielder. This development has sparked Newcastle to increase its offer for Bergvall, who is a key target for the Magpies.

Why it matters for Bruno Guimaraes

The 20-year-old midfielder is keen to move to the Gunners, and with Arsenal's interest in Guimaraes, a replacement is likely needed. Newcastle will surely test Spurs' resolve with another bid for Bergvall, who has the potential to one day be just as good as Guimaraes.

What comes next?

Newcastle are the favourites to land Lucas Bergvall, despite Nottingham Forest's interest in the Sweden international. Spurs are believed to be open to a sale for the right price, and the Magpies may be able to meet their expectations with additional income.

Newcastle have 'deals lined up' as Lucas Bergvall update shared - journalist. The Magpies saw a £46m bid turned down by the North London club last week as they look to bring in a new midfielder. However, with the extra cash they will receive if Guimaraes departs, a second bid for the Sweden international feels inevitable.

Former Coventry assistant manager Mick Brown exclusively told Football Insider that Newcastle could now hijack a move for Carl Rushworth, the goalkeeper who shone on loan at Coventry City last season. The West Midlands club have since seen a bid rejected by Brighton and Hove Albion, and this could now open the door for Newcastle. Eddie Howe is in need of a new goalkeeper this summer as questions remain over Nick Pope's ability.

Brighton are set to demand £30m for Rushworth this summer, and it remains to be seen if Newcastle are prepared to meet this price tag. The Magpies have 'deals lined up' as Lucas Bergvall update shared - journalist, and it seems they are willing to take a gamble on the 20-year-old.

Newcastle are the favourites to secure a deal for Bergvall, and with the extra cash they will receive if Guimaraes departs, a second bid for the Sweden international feels inevitable. The Magpies may be able to meet Spurs' expectations with additional income, and it remains to be seen if they are able to win the race to his signature.

The 20-year-old has the potential to one day be just as good as Guimaraes, and Newcastle may be willing to take this gamble. However, it remains to be seen if the club go through with a second bid for Bergvall and if they are able to win the race to his signature.
