Liverpool and Manchester United have both made contact with Wolves over a possible move for Joao Gomes, according to Globo Esporte. The Brazil international is emerging as one of the more interesting midfield situations in the market, particularly after Wolves' relegation and the collapse of a proposed switch to Atletico Madrid.
The report indicates that both Premier League clubs have enquired about the likely cost of a deal and how any transfer could be structured. That development comes at a time when Manchester United are reassessing midfield plans after their attempt to sign Ederson from Atalanta hit a major issue. Liverpool, meanwhile, appear to be revisiting a long-standing admiration that predates Gomes' move from Flamengo to Molineux.
Liverpool's awareness of Joao Gomes is far from new. The 25-year-old was tracked earlier in his career and has since built a strong reputation in English football, even during a difficult campaign for Wolves. Relegation often forces hard decisions, and Gomes looks one of the most obvious candidates to generate a substantial fee.
Atletico Madrid had been close to securing him for around €45m, which is £38.3m, before that move broke down. That number now provides a useful reference point for any club looking to test Wolves' resolve. For Liverpool, it places Gomes in a bracket that feels significant yet still manageable in a market where elite midfielders can quickly move beyond £50m.
