Joao Gomes Targeted by Liverpool and Man United

Wolves Shake Up After Relegation

Andoni Iraola’s transfer committee is busy reshaping the squad ahead of pre‑training, which kicks off this month. The World Cup has slowed the summer market, leaving many clubs still searching for the right fits. Recently relegated Wolves are scrambling to rebuild, and midfielder Joao Gomes is eager to leave. The 25‑year‑old is valued at around £38 million, a price that fits today’s tighter transfer budgets.

From Near Deal to New suitors

Gomes almost sealed a move to Atletico Madrid earlier this year, but those talks fell apart. Brazilian reports now say both Liverpool and Manchester United have contacted Wolves to express interest. The player has proved himself as Wolves’ player of the season, showing Premier League quality despite the club’s struggles. His age and price make him an affordable option for clubs looking to add creativity in the middle of the park.

Liverpool’s Long‑standing Interest

Liverpool’s fascination with Gomes dates back before his Wolves stint, though no deal materialised. It remains unclear whether the Reds are genuinely pursuing him or simply probing the market. A move to Anfield could finally give the Brazilian the chance to wear the red shirt he’s long admired. The timing aligns with Liverpool’s need for midfield depth as they prepare for Iraola’s first season.

Whether this is a serious bid or just an exploratory call, the summer window still has plenty of intrigue. Fans will watch closely as the transfer committee’s plans take shape and new faces arrive at the training centre. The outcome could reshape both Wolves’ rebuild and Liverpool’s options for the upcoming campaign.
