Ansible - joining two nested lists without the same key

I am currently trying to combine two different dictionaries together. The thing that ties them together is the login field, but this is not the "key" in both dicts.

---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
vars:
userlist:
tom123:
guid: "tom"
sally:
guid: "sally"
userteamlist:
tom:
teams: "group4, group6, group5"
sally:
teams: "group1, group2, group3"


How do I get these two lists to merge based on the "guid"? The "guid" is the key in one list (userteamlist) and a "value" (guid) in the other list (userlist).

I have used this Stackoverflow link for joining two dicts with the same key, but have not figured out to do this with key+subelement.

Thoughts?

In a short dictionary comprehension:

userlist = {'tom123': {'guid': 'tom'}, 'sally': {'guid': 'sally'}}
userteamlist = {
'tom': {'teams': 'group4 group6 group5'.split()},
'sally': {'teams': 'group1 group2 group3'.split()}
}

merged = {
name: {**user, **userteamlist[user['guid']]}
for name, user in userlist.items()
}
