According to reports from the British media outlet i, Newcastle United rejected Arsenal's initial formal offer for Guimaraes, but Arsenal remains at the negotiating table and is expected to submit new offers. Guimaraes is also eager to move to Arsenal.
It is understood that Arsenal's offer was significantly below Newcastle United's asking price, with the latter valuing Guimaraes at over £80 million.
So far, all negotiations have been conducted through third parties, with Guimaraes' representatives having informal communications with Newcastle United.
Guimaraes arrived in Spain on Monday morning as pre-arranged with Newcastle United and reported to the club's training base in La Manga, with sources emphasizing that he has completed all requirements. He was scheduled to undergo a medical examination with Newcastle United this morning (due to participating in the World Cup), but this arrangement may be disrupted by transfer matters.
Despite Guimaraes' desire to transfer, there has been no repeat of last year's scenario where Isak "went on strike" and refused to participate in Newcastle United's pre-season tour. However, the possibility of Guimaraes leaving St. James' Park this summer is increasing, and he would become the third key player to depart after Tonali and Gordon.
Newcastle United has signed five new players, but the club internally admits that if Guimaraes leaves, they will need to bring in an experienced player to support the new coach Jaissle. It is understood that Newcastle United is working on bringing in another midfielder, possibly leaning towards a younger player.
Porto's Viktor Froholdt is one of the players Newcastle United admires, but Sporting Director Ross Wilson is also considering other options.
Newcastle United is expected to confirm Jaissle as their new head coach on Monday afternoon (local time). The German coach has arrived in La Manga to lead the team for a week-long training camp in Spain.

none of them was up to £80m and they are way younger
Age does definitely come into the equation, for you will have very limited sell on value. He possibly has 5 years at best playing top level.
