In October 2023, the 26-year-old midfield player signed a new contract at St. James’ Park with the intention of staying with the team until 2028.

Away from league play, Guimaraes will get the chance to show off his skills to City this coming Saturday when the Magpies play Guardiola’s team in the FA Cup.
