Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester City want Joao Gomes to replace Bernardo Silva at the end of the season. Meanwhile, clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in the €50 million-rated midfielder as well. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
The 25-year-old has shown his quality in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he would be a very useful addition to Manchester City. They need more control and defensive cover in the middle of the park. The Brazilian international would be the ideal support system for Rodri as well.
Gomes will be tempted to join a big club
The opportunity to join Manchester City will be quite exciting for him. It would be a major step up in his career. The player is likely to seek an exit in the summer amid his links with Premier League bigwigs.
Wolves are almost nailed on to go down at the end of the season, and the South American midfielder will not want to compete in the Championship next season. He will look to play for a big club and fight for trophies. Manchester City will be able to provide him with Champions League football and the opportunity to fight for silverware every season.
City have the finances to get the deal done as well. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Chelsea could use more depth in the middle of the park as well.
Arsenal should look to bring in an upgrade on Christian Norgaard. The Dane has struggled for regular game time this season, and they should look to bring someone who could be more useful. Gomes is a younger player with a lot more potential and he could be the ideal acquisition.
Similarly, Chelsea have been overly dependent on Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo in the middle of the park. Adding another quality midfielder could be a wise decision. All three clubs have the resources to pay €50 million for the Brazilian, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
