Flamengo will make MILLIONS if this deal goes through.

Fla is entitled to 10% of the sale, plus another 4% of the total amount thanks to FIFA’s solidarity mechanism.

In other words, if Atlético de Madrid pay €45 million, Flamengo would receive approximately €6.3 million.

That represents R$36.7 million at the current exchange rate.

João Gomes has been at Wolves since 2022/23. This season, he made 39 appearances, with one goal and three assists - the team ended up being relegated.

In addition to João Gomes, Atleti also want another Brazilian: Atalanta defensive midfielder Ederson.

The Spanish club, however, face competition from Arsenal and Manchester United for Ederson.
