The 28-year-old has been a star performer at St James’ Park for the last few years, and there have recently been some transfer rumours linking him with Manchester United.
Although it’s not clear how concrete or advanced this move to Man Utd might be, Fabrizio Romano did confirm in a YouTube post that the Red Devils met with Guimaraes’ agent recently.
Still, for now Guimaraes doesn’t seem to be closing in on a departure from Newcastle, and he’s only hinted at being keen to return to Brazil at some point later in his career.
Bruno Guimaraes hints at future transfer
Guimaraes has admitted he’d love to play for either one of Athletico Paranaense or Vasco da Gama one day.
Speaking in the video clip below, as cited by Shields Gazette, Guimaraes was asked about having a Vasco shirt in his home, to which he responded: “Vasco gave me this one [shirt]. A gift.
When asked about playing for Vasco in the future, he added: “Ah, man, I really want to. If I come back to Brazil, it’s either Athletico or Vasco, man.”

That’s a pretty clear hint about Guimaraes’ long-term plans, but it doesn’t necessarily tell us much about what he could do this summer.
A move to United would surely be tempting for him, but Newcastle are also surely unlikely to make it easy for any suitors.
Guimaraes has been hugely important to NUFC and they’ll need to avoid another saga like last year when they were dealt the blow of losing star player Alexander Isak to Liverpool.
