João Gomes, in Atlético Madrid's sights: negotiations stalled
According to Ben Jacobs, João Gomes' transfer to Atlético Madrid has seen progress but has stalled. The 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder currently plays for Wolverhampton and is under contract until 2030.
Ben Jacobs reported that, despite an initial agreement between clubs, João Gomes' transfer to Atlético Madrid has encountered obstacles. The interest in the 25-year-old, who plays as a central midfielder for Wolverhampton Wanderers, has been affected by uncertainty in negotiations.
Gomes, whose market value is set at €40 million and has a contract valid until June 30, 2030, has become a recurring name on Atlético's agenda. Despite initial talks, journalist Matteo Moretto points out that the signing will not materialize due to tensions between the clubs involved.
Fabrizio Romano has also indicated that Atlético's interest in Gomes has diminished since mid-June, as the club has shifted its focus to other targets like Hjulmand. This could open the door for other clubs interested in the Brazilian midfielder, further complicating his potential move to Madrid.
The current situation suggests that, while there is genuine interest from Atlético, discussions are far from definitive. The coming days will be crucial to see if the Madrid club rekindles interest or if Gomes finds himself on the radar of other teams.
