Overview
- Atletico Madrid are in advanced talks with Wolves to sign Joao Gomes for about €45 million, according to Football España and talkSPORT.
- The agreement is described as close to verbal, with no official confirmation from either club at this stage.
- Atletico still have verbal terms with Atalanta’s Ederson, but Manchester United have offered the player stronger terms.
- Wolves’ relegation to the Championship points to summer exits, and a €45 million fee would bring a major profit after Gomes joined from Flamengo for about €15 million in 2023.
- The move would help refill Atletico’s midfield after January setbacks, and it would give Gomes a path from a relegated team to Champions League football.
