Brazilian midfielder João Gomes, 25, is on the verge of becoming a new player for Aston Villa after a verbal agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers. According to Fabrizio Romano, the transfer fee amounts to £35 million, representing a significant movement in the market for both clubs.
Gomes, who currently plays for Wolverhampton Wanderers, has a market value of €40 million and his contract with the Wolves runs until June 30, 2030.
