Atletico Madrid ‘have practically sealed’ move for Joao Gomes | OneFootball

Wolves sign off at Molineux against Fulham today, and Joao Gomes is likely to make his final outing in old gold, with a switch to Atletico Madrid considered very close.

According to Fabrizio Romano in Italiano, Atletico believe they have virtually completed the signing, with only final administrative steps still to be resolved.

It has been a long, grim season, with two matches left, and supporters want a response after the poor showing at Brighton. While some team-mates appear to have switched off, Gomes has continued to show commitment.

Other clubs have been interested, some putting forward more money than the Spanish side, but the Brazilian is intent on Atleti, drawn by title races, Champions League football and the chance to work under Diego Simeone.

No fee has been agreed, with Wolves understood to want about £40 million. The atmosphere could turn spiky today if performance and result disappoint, yet Gomes merits a warm reception with his departure seemingly close.
