Atletico and Europe’s giants chase William Gomes, FC Porto want near €80m | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid are monitoring William Gomes, but any potential move for the Brazilian winger is expected to be difficult. FC Porto have set the bar high and point to the player’s €80 million release clause, a figure that complicates negotiations at this stage.

The Madrid club’s interest comes amid strong international competition. Manchester United, Newcastle, Roma and Arsenal are also keeping tabs on the player and closely following the Porto forward’s development.

William Gomes, 20, has attracted interest in the European market thanks to the progress he has shown at FC Porto. The Brazilian’s rising value, combined with his room for development, has placed him among the most closely watched names ahead of the next transfer window.

On Porto’s side, the stance is a firm one. The SAD led by André Villas-Boas is not making it easy for one of the squad’s most promising assets to leave, and the asking price reflects that strategy. In this context, any concrete progress will depend on whether interested clubs are willing to come closer to the financial demands of the blue-and-white club.

For now, the situation remains open, with several top clubs keeping a close eye on William Gomes and FC Porto holding a strong negotiating position.
