According to the BBC, Arsenal are now set to submit an improved £70m offer for Guimaraes and negotiations are said to have ‘accelerated in recent days’.
However, Chronicle Live reports that Newcastle sources regard Arsenal’s £70m offer as a ‘non starter’.

The report adds that Newcastle are ‘irritated by Arsenal’s approach’ and will demand a £100m transfer fee if Guimaraes hands in a transfer request.
Guimaraes registered four assists for Brazil at the World Cup this summer and is now expected to report back for Newcastle’s pre-season training ahead of their boot camp in La Manga.
Newcastle have already sold Sandro Tonali to Tottenham in a deal that could rise to £100m, while Anthony Gordon sealed his £69.3m to Barcelona before the start of the World Cup.
Speaking earlier this month, Guimaraes’ former teammate at Newcastle, Emil Krafth, highlighted the importance of the midfielder to Eddie Howe’s side.
‘He’s the most important player in the team,’ Krafth told the BBC.
‘He manages the game so well, both physically and technically.
‘I hope they can keep him.There’s a lot of rumours surrounding him, which is not surprising because he’s had a good World Cup and a great season.’
