Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Joao Gomes is reportedly keen on joining Manchester United in the winter transfer window, with the recent links turning his head.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Joao Gomes is the subject of Manchester United. The Red Devils are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a holding midfielder in the winter transfer window. So, the 24-year-old Wolverhampton Wanderers mainstay has emerged as a target for them.
The latest update has revealed that Manchester United’s interest has turned the South American midfielder’s head and that he is keen on moving to Old Trafford in the winter transfer window. Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers will demand around £40-50 million to part ways with Gomes.
How has Joao Gomes fared in the Premier League?
Joao Gomes has established himself as one of the most promising young midfielders in the Premier League since joining Wolverhampton Wanderers from Flamengo in January 2023. The Rio de Janeiro native spent his formative years in his hometown and graduated from the youth division at Flamengo. However, the 24-year-old has made significant progress in the last two years.
Gomes has made over 100 appearances thus far for Wolverhampton Wanderers while chipping in with seven goals and four assists. Meanwhile, the Brazilian midfielder’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Manchester United will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the winter transfer window.
Move across the Premier League on the cards?
Joao Gomes has been on Manchester United’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, as the Red Devils are scouring the market for a holding midfielder heading into the winter transfer window. Several candidates have emerged on Manchester United’s wishlist.
However, with Carlos Baleba, Elliot Anderson, and Adam Wharton being too expensive for Manchester United’s January budget, Gomes has emerged as a viable target. The latest update has revealed that the recent links have turned the player’s head and that he wants to move to Old Trafford in the winter transfer window.
Wolverhampton Wanderers will demand around £40-50 million to part ways with Gomes, making him an affordable target for Manchester United. It will be interesting to see if the 24-year-old Brazilian midfielder gets his wish of playing for Manchester United midway through the 2025/26 season.
