Olympique de Lyon hit the table when they signed Bruno Guimaraes, overtaking Atlético de Madrid, who had it almost closed. Now with a contract until 2024, Arsenal is coming with force for his signing, but the French squad is clear that they will not give the 24-year-old pivot.
Signed by Paranaense for € 20M, Lyon set the pass of the Brazilian midfielder at almost € 50M, so if Arsenal want to add him they will have to go through the box.
These pretensions of the Ligue 1 club and its refusal to negotiate are a handicap for the Gunners, who would already be considering ruling out the signing of Guimaraes until summer. If so, Lyon would have more time to renew the footballer, who has already been offered an offer for two more seasons, until 2026, and a significant salary increase.
