Liverpool and Man Utd open formal talks for a relegated £40m midfield powerhouse who previously admitted moving to Anfield is his “biggest dream in football.” Liverpool’s hunt for midfield reinforcements has led them to the West Midlands, where Wolverhampton Wanderers’ João Gomes has emerged as a prime target. With the Spanish side out of the picture, Liverpool according to Brazilian outlet Globo, an approach has been made to Wolves over a deal for Gomes and looks highly possible at around the £40 million mark.

Why Wolves have to sell their star man Gomes is currently in his third full season in England. He quickly became the heartbeat of their team, even winning the Wolves Supporters’ Player of the Season award for the 24/25 campaign.

João Gomes has already made his feelings about Liverpool crystal clear, and he did not hide his excitement when discussing a potential move to Merseyside. “Liverpool is a team I would play for,” Gomes said.
