So far, it has not looked especially likely that they will correct that this summer, but after Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes saw the plug pulled on a move to Atletico Madrid, the door has opened for Liverpool to swoop in.

Though Liverpool were linked with a £60m move, Atletico Madrid quickly became favourites, and the Brazilian was widely expected to join the La Liga side in a €40m deal.

A starter for the Rio side from a young age, it was always clear that a career in Europe would await the midfielder.Looking ahead to that dream, Gomes admitted that he would definitely be open to joining Liverpool four years ago.“Liverpool are a team I would play for,” he said. “Playing in the Champions League is my biggest dream and that of my family, my biggest dream in football.”Gomes could have done that with Atletico, but he will also play at Europe’s top table if he joins Liverpool this summer.Premier League-proven, available for a relatively good price, a good age and ready to add steel to the Reds’ leaky midfield, Gomes looks to tick all the boxes for Andoni Iraola this summer.Atletico may yet come back in, but that looks unlikely, and with Gomes surely leaving Wolves, he may yet see his dream of representing Liverpool come to fruition.
