Manchester United and Liverpool want Joao Gomes

Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder João Gomes has emerged as a target for both Manchester United and Liverpool after a planned transfer to Atletico Madrid unexpectedly fell through, according to Brazilian outlet Globo.

The 25-year-old Brazilian appeared set to join the Spanish club, with Atletico reportedly prepared to pay around €45 million for his services. However, the deal unraveled amid developments involving Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes, who was also working on a separate transfer involving Bernardo Silva.

Atletico apparently became frustrated after Mendes shifted focus in Silva’s negotiations, ultimately steering the Manchester City midfielder toward Real Madrid rather than Atletico. The breakdown in relations led Atletico to withdraw from the Joao Gomes agreement despite terms having already been settled.

With the Madrid move off the table, Premier League clubs quickly renewed their interest in the former Flamengo midfielder. Manchester United and Liverpool have both contacted Wolves to gather information regarding a potential transfer and the conditions of any deal.
