Liverpool Target João Gomes Amidst Premier League Interest
Liverpool are reportedly eager to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder João Gomes this summer, according to CaughtOffside. However, they face competition from several other clubs despite Gomes recently signing a new long-term contract with Wolves.
Wolves’ Stance & Potential Transfer Fee
The 24-year-old committed to a five-year deal with an optional extension, and while no release clause is included, Wolves are open to selling him if they receive a substantial offer. Liverpool are expected to make a bid in the region of £40 million to secure his services.
A Key Target for Arne Slot
Gomes, known for his defensive midfield capabilities, has emerged as a priority for incoming Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who sees him as a long-term successor to Wataru Endo. His performances in the Premier League have impressed, making him a valuable addition to Liverpool’s midfield.
Competition from Other Premier League Clubs
Since joining Wolves from Flamengo in January 2023, Gomes has made 81 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing three assists. His consistent displays have caught the attention of other top clubs, with Manchester United and Arsenal also monitoring his situation.
With Liverpool looking to reinforce their squad, securing Gomes could be a crucial move. However, they may need to act swiftly to fend off interest from their Premier League rivals.
