One of the underrated midfielders is likely to be a player to watch this summer’s transfer window. He was once again informed that a long list of big clubs were keeping an eye on him.
That player is Wolves’ Joao Gomez, who I last heard from back in November. As reported in an exclusive article here.
We hear the Brazilian is “very likely” to move on this summer after a disappointing season that saw Wolves almost certain to be relegated from the Premier League.

This fall to the Championship is expected to weaken Wolves’ negotiating position and likely mean a significant reduction in the asking price.
Possible transfer of Joao Gomez alerts Man United and Chelsea
Gomez has long been highly regarded by the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool, with other big names now in frequent contact to keep up with his situation.
A source said: “Manchester United have had a long-standing interest in Gomez and he is a player they will consider depending on what happens with other midfield targets.” “What’s fascinating about this is that there is an unofficial understanding that Wolves’ relegation means his asking price will drop from €60 million to around €40-45 million.”

Although sources close to Wolves deny this, there is growing belief among top clubs that a bargain deal could be struck for the 25-year-old, who will be pushing hard to leave Molineux.
“United would be a name to keep an eye on, but Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle and Napoli have also inquired about him as well,” my source added.
João Gomez also eyeing a midfield transfer
Gomez is just one of a long list of midfielders set to move this summer, and is also being monitored by Chelsea, so the interest is understandable. As we reported here yesterday, Monaco’s Ramin Camara.
The Blues will be considering many other names. There is a growing feeling that Enzo Fernandes is becoming unstable And maybe we can move on.
Newcastle’s interest is thought to be due to concerns over whether Sandro Tonali’s agent will be able to retain him, as he is eyeing a move to either Arsenal, Man United or Man City.
Tottenham, on the other hand, could be successful in signing Gomez, but what they can do in the transfer market will depend on whether they can stay without joining Wolves in next season’s Championship.
