Guilherme made his Palmeiras debut as a 17-year-old in 2023 and played for the club in this season’s Copa Libertadores.
The teenager said he and his family “liked” the project the Hammers presented to them and believes he can “learn a lot” from Lopetegui, who replaced David Moyes as boss at the end of last season.
He added: “The Premier League is the best league in the world. I believe I’ll improve a lot here with the entire staff at West Ham, which is crucial for my development.”
