The Premier League season is in its final rounds, and the top clubs are already making moves behind the scenes with the transfer window in mind. As such, Chelsea (ENG) are trying to sign midfielder João Gomes, who came through at Flamengo.

According to the outlet ‘CaughtOffside’, Chelsea have entered the race to sign João Gomes. As a result, the London blue side are now competing with Manchester United (ENG) and Tottenham (ENG), both from the same country.

In addition to the Premier League clubs, João Gomes, currently at Wolverhampton (ENG) and virtually relegated to the second division, is also drawing interest from other teams. Atlético de Madrid (ESP) and Napoli (ITA) are clubs keeping an eye on the former Flamengo player.

IS FLAMENGO KEEPING AN EYE ON THE SITUATION?

With that in mind, Flamengo are still monitoring the situation involving João Gomes, since they are entitled to 10% of any future sale of the midfielder. Wolverhampton are demanding £60 million (R$ 408 million at the current exchange rate).

That means if João Gomes is sold for the amount demanded by Wolverhampton, Flamengo would be entitled to £6 million (R$ 40.8 million at the current exchange rate). However, there are still no offers for the midfielder who came through at Ninho do Urubu.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remain focused on the season’s challenges in domestic and international football. The Most Beloved take the field this Wednesday (08) to face Cusco (PER) in the first round of the Copa Libertadores at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), away from home.
