Brazilian international midfielder signed in January 2022 from Lyon.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Guimarães made his professional debut at the age of 17 for Audax in his native country before establishing himself in the first-team of the São Paulo-based outfit.
Following a positive loan stint at Athletico Paranaense during the 2017/18 campaign, the defensive midfielder completed a permanent move to the Série A side on a three-year deal.
After amassing a century of competitive outings for Paranaense, winning four trophies as well as featuring in the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A Team of the Year, Guimarães signed for Lyon in January 2020.
The Brazilian made 33 Ligue 1 appearances last term, scoring three goals as Les Gones finished in fourth place, narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification by two points along with reaching the Coupe de France quarter-finals and registered six assists for Lyon this season.
Guimarães' positive performances at club level resulted in his first international call-up to the Brazil national team for 2022 World Cup qualifiers in October 2020 before making his senior debut the following month and has since gained three caps.
An Olympic Gold medallist with Brazil at the 2020 Tokyo Games, Guimarães started every game for Seleção during their successful campaign in Japan, defeating Spain 2-1 in the final via extra-time.
