Manchester United and Liverpool chase Wolves midfielder João Gomes after Atletico pullout

Manchester United have intensified their pursuit of Wolves midfielder João Gomes following the collapse of a €45 million agreement with Atletico Madrid. The Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes reportedly upset Atletico, prompting the Spanish club to withdraw from the deal, leaving the Brazilian player available. Liverpool are also reported to be interested, adding to the competition for the midfielder as both English clubs look to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season.

The transfer saga is being affected by other market moves, including United’s potential signing of Youri Tielemans, which could further impact the likelihood of a Gomes deal. While United explore alternatives after a failed Ederson transfer, the ongoing negotiations illustrate the heightened activity and uncertainty in the summer transfer window.
