European giants Atletico Madrid are targeting a move for Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes this summer. With Wolves heading for the Championship, the 25-year-old Brazilian is expected to leave Molineux, and he is believed to have a number of suitors.
Atletico Lead the Chase
It is La Liga outfit Atletico who are showing the most interest so far, opening talks with intermediaries over a move for Gomes. The Champions League semi-finalists, who face Arsenal in the competition next week, were interested in January without being able to pull off a deal. However, they have now begun to make their move for him at the start of what is expected to be a busy summer for Wolves, with many players expected in and out at Molineux.
Gomes' Impact at Wolves
Gomes has made 126 appearances for Wolves since signing from Flamengo in January 2023 following a protracted move for the Brazilian that included Wolves fans going viral with their #FreeJoaoGomes campaign. His performances have attracted attention from top clubs across Europe, and his departure now seems inevitable as Wolves prepare for life in the Championship.
