Premier League club eyes move for João Gomes, ex-Flamengo | OneFootball

Flamengo could receive money from a possible sale of João Gomes by Wolves (ENG)

Defensive midfielder João Gomes is becoming increasingly sought after on the market. That is because Crystal Palace (ENG) have shown interest in the Flamengo academy product. The sale of the 25-year-old player is considered only a matter of time following the English club’s relegation.

Therefore, Crystal Palace (ENG) are expected to join Atlético de Madrid (ESP) in the race to sign the Ninho do Urubu graduate. The Wolverhampton side hopes to receive offers in the region of £40 million (around R$ 270 million) to let the player go.

What is João Gomes’ situation in England?

The midfielder has been with the European team since 2023 and is under contract until 2030. However, poor performances relegated the Premier League side to the Championship. As a result, it is only natural for Wolves to negotiate player sales in order to cope with the drop to the second division.

According to Lance!, the Brazilian wants to keep playing in the Premier League, which could benefit Crystal Palace in the battle with the Spanish side. There were rumors, however, that Manchester United (ENG) had already been keeping an eye on the player.

Is Flamengo considering bringing João Gomes back?

Although the Rubro-Negro always show affection for their academy product, Flamengo have not yet been mentioned in rumors as a potential buyer. However, a future sale of João Gomes could still bring money to Fla as his training club.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

While João Gomes is drawing interest, Flamengo face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) in Group A of the Libertadores. The match kicks off at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) in Argentina, with coverage on Rede Globo (free-to-air TV) and Paramount+ (streaming).
