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]
