Newcastle agree £51.5m Manzambi deal

Newcastle have agreed a £51.5m deal with Freiburg for Switzerland midfielder Johan Manzambi, while insisting Bruno Guimarães is not for sale despite Arsenal's interest.

Newcastle is set to complete the signing of the 20-year-old Switzerland international, who has impressed during this summer's World Cup. The transfer will not be finalized while Switzerland remain in the tournament, with Manzambi currently sidelined by a minor knee injury that may keep him out of their quarter-final against Argentina.

The Premier League club remains firm on not selling Bruno Guimarães, who has expressed a desire to leave and is reportedly a target for Arsenal. Newcastle's management appears committed to strengthening their squad with the addition of Manzambi while retaining their key Brazilian midfielder. solvita.blog
