The Brazilian midfielder has been linked with Real Madrid in the past, but the player opted to sign new five-year deal with the Magpies last season.
The report adds that Guardiola is eager to field Guimaraes alongside star midfielder Rodri next season, as he looks for a suitable replacement for Illkay Gundogan.
Guardiola was also complimentary of the Brazil international before their FA Cup meeting on Saturday, which City ended up winning 2-0.
"Exceptional holding midfielder," Guardiola said on Friday, as per Goal.
"Aggressive, with the ball he pauses, in the games he is aggressive.
"Now Newcastle wants to grow and I am quite sure that it will form part of its project for the next few years."
