Atletico Madrid target Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid are targeting Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes for a summer move, with talks opened via intermediaries for the 25-year-old, according to ExpressAndStar.com.

With Wolves heading for the Championship, Gomes is expected to leave Molineux and has several admirers, with Atletico showing the strongest interest so far.

The La Liga side, Champions League semi-finalists who face Arsenal next week, explored a deal in January but could not get it over the line.

They have now begun their push at the outset of what is expected to be a busy summer at Molineux, with multiple arrivals and departures anticipated.

Gomes has made 126 appearances for Wolves since joining from Flamengo in January 2023, after a drawn-out transfer that sparked the viral #FreeJoaoGomes fan campaign.
