Media watchLiverpool make contact to sign Brazilian star
Liverpool have made a move to bring Joao Gomes to Anfield, according to the Brazilian media, which has also underlined Real Madrid’s role in the deal between Wolves and Atletico Madrid falling through.
On March 17, our transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, reported Liverpool’s interest in signing Gomes from Wolves in the summer of 2026.
We reported at the time that Man Utd were also keen on the 25-year-old midfielder, who has earned 10 caps for Brazil so far in his career.
However, Atletico Madrid eventually stole a march on Liverpool and Man Utd and got a deal done with Wolves for Gomes.
The deal, though, has fallen through, with Graeme Bailey reporting on July 11 that Man Utd are back in contact for Gomes.
Brazilian news outlet Globo, too, has reported that Man Utd have made contact for Gomes, and so have Liverpool.
