WHAT HAPPENED?
The midfielder has revealed it is his "father's dream" for him to play for Brazilian side Vasco da Gama in the future. The 27-year-old also spoke about his love for former team Athletico Paranaense and that he feels he has at least a decade of playing football ahead of him.

WHAT BRUNO GUIMARAES SAID
He told O Globo: “I also wanted to fulfil my father’s dream of playing for Vasco. My whole family is Basque. I grew up in São Januário, I was always a Vasco fan, but Athletico Paranaense trained me, so I have eternal gratitude for the club. I have a huge gratitude to Athletico, which is a team that I support nowadays too. I think about going back one day, I definitely want to finish my career in Brazil, but I haven’t planned a date or year. I have, I don’t know, 10, 12 years ahead of me. Athletico-PR trained me, so I have eternal gratitude for the club. I left there as an idol, so it’s something I think about a lot in the future.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Bruno has become a vital player for Newcastle since joining the Premier League side from Lyon in 2022 for approximately £40 million ($50m). The Brazil international has repeatedly been linked with a move to Manchester City and if Newcastle fail to deliver European football and trophies soon, the ex-Audax man may be on the move in 2025.
