Flamengo holds 10% of João Gomes' rights

Wolverhampton (ENG) is close to being relegated to the second division of English football and is already planning for the next season. However, the team does not intend to part ways with the Brazilian João Gomes, former Flamengo player.

According to journalist Valentim Furlan, Wolverhampton has no intention of negotiating João Gomes, even in the event of relegation to the second division. Thus, the plan frustrates the major European clubs interested in signing the former Flamengo player.

This is because João Gomes is a target for major European football teams, such as Manchester United (ENG) and Tottenham (ENG) in England. Additionally, the former midfielder of Flamengo is also on Napoli's (ITA) list.

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Flamengo is keeping an eye on the situation, as they are entitled to 10% of a future sale of the midfielder. Wolverhampton demands 60 million pounds (R$ 428 million at the current exchange rate). Thus, if he is sold for the amount demanded by Wolverhampton, Mengo would be entitled to 6 million pounds (R$ 48.2 million at the current exchange rate).

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming commitments of the season. This is because the red-black team faces Lanús (ARG) on Thursday (19), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), away from home, for the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.
