His grandfather immigrated from Spain to Jarra, and through him Guimarães has Spanish citizenship.[3] 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]
Athletico Paranaense

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.[5] The following 1 March, he was bought outright and signed a contract until 2021.[6]
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.[7] 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.[8]

He made his debut on 8 February as a late substitute in a 3–1 win against Everton.[10] He scored his first goal for Newcastle with a "powerful back-heel volley" in a 2–1 victory at Southampton on 10 March, on his full debut game.[11] He scored his first brace for Newcastle in a 2–1 victory against Leicester City on 17 April, with his second coming in the 95th minute, winning the game.[12] On the 31 December 2022, Newcastle United held a moment of respect for the passing of the Brazilian footballer Pelé.[13] In respect to Pelé, Guimarães wore the Brazilian national shirt.[13]
On 7 October 2023, Guimarães signed a new five-year contract with the club.[14]
He ran 423 km in 37 matches in the 2023-24 Premier League season, the most from any player that season.[15] After Matt Ritchie's transfer to Portsmouth, on 8 August 2024, Guimaraes, joined Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier, Jamaal Lascelles and Callum Wilson as part of Newcastle United's leadership group.[16] Guimarães was made the team captain on 19 August.[17]

In September 2020, Guimarães was called up to the senior Brazil squad for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Bolivia and Peru on 9 and 13 October 2020, respectively.[19] He had already been named in the Brazilian team call-up in March 2020, but that summoning was postponed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[citation needed] He debuted in a 2–0 away win over Uruguay on 17 November 2020.[citation needed]
