Newcastle United are interested in acquiring the services of Brazilian attacking sensation William Gomes.
According to a report from GeGlobo, Newcastle United are closely monitoring the progress of William Gomes and they could soon knock on the doors of Sao Paulo to sign the Brazilian attacking sensation.
The teenage winger has come up the ranks at Sao Paulo. While he was a part of their Under-17 setup in the recent past, William Gomes was promoted to their first team at the start of the year and he hasn’t looked back since.
He has already featured in 15 matches for their first team and has even bagged two goals. While he prefers paying out wide on the left flank, the 18-year-old can even feature as a false nine or as an attacking midfielder.
His sensational rise along with his huge potential have put him on the radar of multiple top clubs and soon there could be a bidding war for his signature.
William Gomes’ new deal & Newcastle’s interest
While he did pen down a new deal last summer (August) and his new contract now runs until the end of 2028, his future at Sao Paulo is still not certain. He could still end up parting ways with the Brazilian outfit as Newcastle remain keen on his signature.
His new deal includes a release clause worth €120 million which could be triggered by clubs in Europe to secure his services. The massive clause is a clear indication of the amount of talent the young left-footed winger possesses.
While the Magpies seem to have a solid-looking attack, they are constantly looking for players who can help them take the next step. William Gomes is a huge prospect who could do wonders for them in the long run. As a result, the Tyneside club are keen on acquiring his signature.
The Sao Paulo sensation who will turn 19 in the summer is represented by Talents Sports, a company led by Paulo Pitombeira. While no official offers have been made for the young attacking sensation, multiple top clubs could make an approach for his services during the winter transfer window.
