Spanish club opens talks to sign ex-Flamengo João Gomes | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid (ESP) already in talks with Wolverhampton (ENG) over João Gomes

Wolverhampton (ENG) were relegated to the second division of English football, and the club has already started planning for next season. As a result, Atlético de Madrid (ESP) opened talks to sign defensive midfielder João Gomes, formerly of Flamengo.

According to English journalist Ben Jacobs, Atlético de Madrid have already started talks with Wolverhampton over João Gomes, but have not yet submitted an official offer. The English club is demanding £40 million (R$ 272 million at the current exchange rate) for the former Flamengo player.

Atlético de Madrid are also in talks with another Brazilian: Ederson. However, because of the deadlock with Atalanta, they decided to move forward in pursuit of João Gomes. Talks are expected to intensify in the coming weeks, with the European season entering its final stretch.

Wolverhampton were relegated to the second division of English football this week after West Ham (ENG) drew. As a result, the club has already begun its planning and placed João Gomes on the market, along with André, formerly of Fluminense.

IS JOÃO GOMES IN DEMAND?

In addition to Atlético de Madrid, João Gomes is being targeted by several clubs in Europe. That is because Manchester United (ENG) are the main competitor, along with Tottenham (ENG) and Napoli (ITA). Even so, there have still been no offers for the former Flamengo player.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

Flamengo, João Gomes’ former club, remain focused on their upcoming fixtures this season. The Rubro-Negro take the field this Sunday (26) at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) against Atlético-MG, away from home, in the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship.
