Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is currently enjoying some well-deserved time off, as he is on a group holiday at Universal Studios Brazil with friends. 

Taking to social media, Guimaraes reposted a video to his Instagram story of himself and his pals, chatting to the camera as they stood within the grounds of the Rio de Janeiro theme park.

The video was originally posted by West Ham United player Lucas Paqueta, who Guimaraes is good friends with. The pair recently enjoyed a dinner together at London restaurant Novikov, alongside their wives Ana Lidia Martins and Maria Eduarda Fournier, and fellow Newcastle United player Joelinton and his wife Thays Gondim. 

Also joining Guimaraes on the Universal Studios Brazil trip is Aston Villa player Douglas Luiz, Fulham player Andreas Pereira, Wolverhampton Wanderers player Joao Gomes, and Arsenal player Gabriel Martinelli, all of which including Guimaraes play for the Brazil national team.

The video was posted with the caption: “@universaldestinationsbrasil tmj”, tmj is slang for “estamos juntos”, which translates from Portuguese to English as “we are together”.

Guimaraes shared further videos of the theme park to his Instagram Story, which showed the ride Jurassic Park Velocicoaster, and another video which showed a The Simpsons-themed ride which was surrounded by a beautiful lake. 

Guimaraes recently travelled home to Brazil to celebrate the wedding of his close friend and Newcastle United teammate Joelinton and his new wife, Thays Gondim. 

Guimaraes also celebrated his wife Ana’s birthday, where he performed a song alongside a live band. Ana and Guimaraes have been married since June 2023, and share two young sons together.

Newcastle fans face a nervous wait over Guimaraes' future with his £100million release clause active until the final week of June. 

The Magpies are desperate to keep hold of Guimaraes, and the chances are they will be. But if a club is to activate his clause then whether or not he stays lies in the hand of the player. 

In the meantime, Guimaraes is preparing to compete in the Copa America with Brazil. Their campaign gets underway on June 25 against Costa Rica before facing Toon teammate Miguel Almiron.
