Bruno Guimarães expressed his interest in playing for Vasco to fulfill his father's dream. He indicated that his family supports Vasco and that he was raised around the club, even though he acknowledged his formative years at Athletico-PR. In an exclusive interview with ESPN, Bruno, who is currently a key player for Newcastle in the Premier League, shared that his entire family supports Vasco and that he grew up near São Januário, the club's stadium. While he has a deep-rooted connection with Athletico-PR, where he became a national sensation after winning the CONMEBOL Sul-Americana in 2018 and the Copa do Brasil in 2019, Bruno conveyed his desire to one day play for Vasco, driven by his father's long-held wish.
