Brazil midfielder finally ready to join Liverpool after green-lighting move | OneFootball

Liverpool add Joao Gomes to the list

TEAMtalk states that Liverpool along with Manchester United have got the 25-year-old on their list ahead of Wolves’ impending relegation from the top flight.

“Liverpool have been actively monitoring Gomes in recent weeks, carrying out detailed checks on the Brazilian as they weigh up a potential move,” the report reads.

“Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have also made enquiries.”

Gomes is under contract with Wolves until 2030 following a renewal signed last year. He first signed for the Molineux outfit back in 2023 from Flamengo - for whom he won the 2022 Copa Libertadores.

Back in his home country the Brazil international revealed that Liverpool would be his preferred destination in the Premier League and he has been linked with a move to Merseyside plenty of times since.

And following a huge role in Wolves’ recent resurgence he now looks set to make that next big step in his career.

"Liverpool are a team I’d play for," he told ESPN Brasil. "I have the greatest desire to play. Playing in the Champions League is my biggest dream and that of my family, my biggest dream in football."

Joao Gomes: Situation summary

João Gomes has developed into Wolves’ midfield heartbeat, a combative, all‑action presence who sets the tone with his aggression, intensity and ability to knit play together.

Nicknamed a “pitbull” at Flamengo, he brings that same edge to the Premier League: relentless in duels, quick over short distances and constantly looking to press, tackle and recover the ball.

In possession he keeps things simple but progressive, favouring short passes, sharp wall‑passes and positive carries through the lines, and has grown from pure ball‑winner into a box‑to‑box midfielder capable of breaking into the box and chipping in with the odd goal.
