Olympique Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta has posted a farewell message to Bruno Guimaraes.

Guimaraes left OL for Newcastle United last week.

Fellow Brazilian Paqueta said: "I wanted to thank you above all, for the friendship, the partnership, the laughter and all the moments we spent together! For helping me find my best version! I think that without your friendship, I would not be here!

"Thank you for being this guy without words, with a huge heart and contagious energy! I will miss you very much, on and off the pitch! Because we were and we will continue to be for real! May God bless you more and more in this new challenge, I will be as always by your side for your happiness and your success!

"You deserve everything you've been through! You will always be in my heart ! I love you too much! Thank you for everything and see you soon!"
