Gui Ruck

Guilherme Militão de Oliveira Ruck Veja (born 2 February 2009), known as Gui Ruck, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Porto Vitória.

Early life Ruck was born in Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and moved to Vitória in the state of Espírito Santo at the age of five. It was in Rio that he developed his love for football, and he would play in local courts as a child with other children older than himself.

Club career Early career Brazil and Portugal Having started his career in Espírito Santo with the youth teams of Mundo da Bola and R9 Academy, Ruck would leave the state, going on to play futsal for Clube Álvares Cabral, as well as for the academy of semi-professional side Porto Vitória. Davidson invited the family to stay in his home for a month and a half, and after he joined Portuguese side Vitória Guimarães in 2018, he took Ruck to trial with the side. The family made the move in January 2020, and he joined the academy of Rayo Majadahonda in Madrid, an affiliate of Atlético, due to issues with his paperwork. In May 2024 he was strongly linked with English sides Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, going as far as to travel to England to reportedly negotiate terms. He was also approached by Spanish and French clubs Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, respectively, but ultimately returned to Brazil, signing a three-year contract with Flamengo. Upon signing in August 2024, he stated "it's a very special day in my life", and that it was an "honour to wear the shirt of this giant club that is Flamengo" on his Instagram page.

Personal life Ruck became the youngest footballer to sign a contract with German sportswear manufacturer Adidas, when he did so in 2019.
