The transfer window has been open since the first day of the year and will remain so until the end of January. With that, Manchester United (ENG), one of the clubs interested in signing João Gomes, formerly of Flamengo, has revealed the reason for trying to secure a positive outcome with the midfielder.
According to English journalist Shaun Connolly, Manchester United sees João Gomes as a perfect fit for the profile of a midfield “warrior.” The player, who came up through the ranks at Flamengo, is among the best in the Premier League when it comes to tackling and duels.
Thus, Manchester United’s executives have valued João Gomes for quite some time and describe him as a player who “ticks all the boxes.” Finally, the age of the former Flamengo player, along with his lower price tag, means the English club remains on alert for the player.
João Gomes is 24 years old and plays for Wolverhampton (ENG). The team is in an almost irreversible situation and currently sits at the bottom of the Premier League table. Finally, the former Flamengo player is also being targeted by Napoli (ITA) and Atlético de Madrid (ESP).
Thus, Flamengo, João Gomes’ former team, remains focused on the upcoming challenges in the Campeonato Carioca. O Mais Querido, still fielding its under-20 squad, will face Vasco on Wednesday (21st) at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) at Maracanã.
