Liverpool Set to Challenge Man Utd for Joao Gomes! £40m Bid Incoming?
Liverpool are preparing a formal offer for Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Joao Gomes, aiming to beat Manchester United and Arsenal in the race for the highly-rated Brazilian.
Liverpool’s Midfield Revamp in Motion?
With Arne Slot set to take over from Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool are looking to bolster their midfield. This season, the Reds have relied on Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch, with Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo providing depth. However, Slot wants a stronger, more dynamic presence in midfield—and Gomes fits the bill.
Liverpool previously pursued Martin Zubimendi, but after failing to land him, their focus has shifted to Gomes. Reports suggest the Reds will “test the waters” with a £40m bid despite the midfielder recently extending his contract with Wolves.
Man Utd & Arsenal in the Hunt
Liverpool aren’t the only club circling. Manchester United and Arsenal are also tracking Gomes, with United in dire need of midfield reinforcements.
United’s midfield overhaul: With Christian Eriksen’s contract running out, Casemiro struggling for form, and Kobbie Mainoo potentially being sold, the Red Devils need fresh legs in midfield.
Arsenal’s interest: The Gunners see Gomes as a valuable squad addition to complement their already-strong midfield unit.
Why Gomes?
The Brazilian international is a versatile, high-energy midfielder, comfortable in box-to-box and defensive roles. He thrives in high-pressing systems, making him an ideal fit for both Liverpool and Arsenal’s playing styles.
