Overview
- Reports indicate Manchester United have identified Joao Gomes as a pragmatic January option for midfield reinforcement.
- Portuguese outlet Record reports the player is open to a move, with multiple reports placing a notional fee near £44 million.
- Mirror Sport reports any deal at that price may be delayed until summer due to Wolves’ stance on retaining key players in the winter window.

- United have monitored Gomes for roughly 18 months as they explore lower-cost alternatives to nine-figure summer targets.
