Bruno Guimarães

Bruno Guimarães Rodrigues Moura (born 16 November 1997), known as Bruno Guimarães, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Newcastle United, which he captains, and the Brazil national team.

Guimarães began his professional career with Athletico Paranaense, before moving to Lyon in 2020, and Newcastle United in 2022.

Bruno Guimarães was born in the São Cristóvão neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. His father was a taxi driver. His grandfather immigrated from Spain to Jarra, and through him Guimarães has Spanish citizenship. Guimarães made his debut with Audax.[citation needed] on 9 April 2015, aged just 17, by playing the last three minutes in a 2–1 Campeonato Paulista away win against Bragantino.[citation needed]

Guimarães was promoted to the main squad in the 2017 campaign after impressing in the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.[citation needed]

On 11 May 2017, he joined Athletico Paranaense on loan until April 2018 and was initially assigned to the under-23 squad.

Guimarães made his Série A debut on 17 June 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute for Deivid in a 1–0 away defeat of Atlético Goianiense. The following 1 March, he was bought outright and signed a contract until 2021.

Guimarães scored his first senior goal on 10 March 2018, netting his team's fourth in a 7–1 home routing of Rio Branco-PR, for the year's Campeonato Paranaense. He then became an undisputed starter for the main squad under new manager Tiago Nunes. He renewed his contract until 2023 on 5 February 2019.

On 29 January 2020, Guimarães signed with Ligue 1 side Lyon on a four-and-a-half-year contract. The transfer fee paid to Athletico Paranaense was reported as €20 million, which also secured a 20% sell-on clause.
