Lyon have confirmed the signing of Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Athletico Paranaense on a four-and-a-half year contract for a transfer fee of £17million (€20m).
Guimaraes, targeted by several European clubs including Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, will arrive in Lyon on either February 10 or 11 after he fulfils commitments with the Brazil Under-23 team in a qualifying event for the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Lyon said in a statement that they would receive 20 per cent from any future sale of the Brazilian Olympic team captain.
The versatile 22-year-old scored 10 goals in 105 matches for Athletico Paranaense and helped them win the Copa Sudamericana in 2018 and Copa do Brasil in 2019.
He will become the 20th Brazilian player to represent Lyon, following in the footsteps of Giovane Elber, Juninho and Fred among others.
Rudi Garcia's Lyon are fifth in Ligue 1 with 32 points from 21 games. They will take on Nice in the last 16 of the French Cup later on Thursday before visiting the same team in the league three days later.

It would be great if he joined Arsenal, and they would have Gabriel Martinelli, Bruno Guimaraes, and Pablo Mari.

we're always losers we can't even compete with lyon in transfer.. alot of announcements on Mari signing yet he's a loan, and and the biggest shame his market value is only $3Mill... Arsenal is no longer the team we had faith on!! totally a waste of time, I've been an arsenal fan since 2003 and I'm really tired of false non existing expectations the mighty Arsenal is dead long time we're now living the old glories we're now the a mid table team and well thanks to auba for keeping us there otherwise we would be grinding the bottom
