The transfer market is in full swing, and football clubs worldwide are trying to strengthen their squads for 2026. Thus, Atlético de Madrid (ESP) has started monitoring the situation of João Gomes, a product of Flamengo and currently at Wolverhampton (ENG).
According to information from the Spanish newspaper ‘Marca‘, João Gomes is well-regarded by the Atlético de Madrid management. The midfielder would even join the Spanish team to replace Conor Gallagher, who was sold to Tottenham (ENG).
It is worth noting that Atlético de Madrid is not the only European club interested in signing João Gomes. This is because Napoli (ITA) is in talks to bring the midfielder. Thus, everything indicates that the former Flamengo player will not remain at Wolves until the next season.
Trained in the youth categories of Flamengo, João Gomes will generate a sum for the Rubro-Negro if he leaves Wolves. After all, the Mengão holds 14% of the midfielder's economic rights, with 4% due to FIFA's solidarity mechanism.
Despite Wolves' poor season, appearing in the relegation zone of the Premier League, João Gomes is one of the highlights of the English team. Thus, the midfielder is valued at 40 million euros (R$ 250.7 million), according to the site ‘Transfermarkt‘.
So far, Flamengo has secured two reinforcements for 2026. Defender Vitão and goalkeeper Andrew are the new rubro-negro athletes for the season. Additionally, Mengão is advancing in negotiations to sign Lucas Paquetá, a midfielder from West Ham.
