Overview
- Napoli are reported to have a verbal understanding with João Gomes on financial terms, but there is no agreement with Wolves on a fee.
- Manchester United have tracked the 24-year-old since the summer as a candidate to refresh midfield options after Casemiro’s decline in influence.
- Atlético Madrid keep the midfielder on their shortlist under Diego Simeone, with cost concerns shaping the timing of any approach.
- Liverpool’s earlier interest has cooled, leaving United, Napoli and Atlético as the leading suitors at this stage.
- Reporting indicates a January exit would likely require a loan with an option or obligation to buy, with a permanent move viewed as more realistic in the summer.
