Lyon, January 31, 2021
Olympique Lyonnais informs of the transfer of its Brazilian international midfielder Bruno Guimarães to the English club Newcastle for a total amount, *bonus included, of €50.1 million, as well as a 20% profit-sharing on a possible more -value.
*The €8 million in potential bonuses takes into account Newcastle’s performance over the next few seasons and in particular its retention in the Premier League, starting this year. Besides, as agreed during the Brazilian’s initial transfer, 20% of the total transfer fee will be donated to his former club Athletico Paranaense.
Arrived in January 2020 for an amount of 20 M€ from the club of the city of Curitiba, Bruno Guimarães will have played 71 matches in all competitions with OL (3 goals) and will have become a Brazilian international under the colors of Lyon. He also won the Olympic gold medal last August in Tokyo, starting in the 6 matches of his selection.
Seduced by the Newcastle project, with its new shareholders, the midfielder wanted to join the English Premier League club in a difficult economic context for Olympique Lyonnais, marked by almost two years of Covid health crisis which, unfortunately , has hit the big clubs that have not been the subject of significant aid from the French government much more.
OL specifies that the management of the recruitment unit, with Bruno Cheyrou, is actively working on the arrival of several players in order to enable OL to achieve its objectives both in the French championship and in the Europa League.
Finally, Olympique Lyonnais would like to warmly thank Bruno Guimarães for his involvement, his determination and his professionalism since his arrival at OL two years ago. The whole club wishes him and his family a very good continuation in Newcastle as well as with the Brazilian selection, already qualified for the next World Cup in Qatar.
