Guimarães has featured across 36 games in the ongoing campaign, netting thrice and assisting eight goals. He is averaging 1.2 shots, 1.1 key passes, and 0.9 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).

The Brazilian midfielder is versatile to adapts to different styles of play. He is known for his precise decision-making and contributions to the attacking aspects. However, he also provides a lot of stability and defensive work in the middle of the park.

Bruno Guimarães will fit in well

Manchester City were linked to Bruno Guimarães a year ago as well but couldn’t get him onboard. However, they continue to show interest in him, especially amid the uncertainty over the futures of their star midfielders.

The Citizens are struggling badly this season and they are already plotting moves to prepare for the next year. Hence, their aggressive stance in the pursuit of Guimarães makes sense as he can be a valuable addition to the midfield unit.

The 27-year-old has all the traits to taste success at Etihad Stadium and he can be paired up with Rodri in the midfield. His experience and the ability to contribute in both aspects of the game can enhance Manchester City and their performances.
