Manchester United and Liverpool have reportedly made contact regarding a summer move for Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Joao Gomes. The 25-year-old Brazil international has emerged as a target for both Premier League giants after his proposed transfer to Atletico Madrid fell through, according to Brazilian outlet Globo.
The defensive midfielder has been a key figure at Molineux since joining from Flamengo in 2023, and his consistent performances have attracted attention. However, with the La Liga side's move collapsing, United and Liverpool are now exploring the possibility of bringing him in to bolster their midfields.
