Born on November 16, 1997, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Guimarães began his professional football career with Athletico Paranaense in his home country before making a move to Lyon in France in 2020. His performances for Lyon caught the attention of Newcastle United, who signed him for a reported fee of around £33 million, making him the most expensive signing in the club’s history.
