"Manchester United's list of midfield targets is growing into quite a long one, with sources mentioning Joao Gomes as another name to me today. Reminder it's absolutely the norm for clubs to assess long lists of targets for most positions before deciding on a priority, so, as ever, the Red Devils' genuine interest in this Premier League star doesn't mean a deal is in the works yet, or that it will definitely go anywhere concrete."
"Still, I can reveal that Man United scouts have been keeping a close eye on Wolves ace Gomes this season, having also been one of the clubs tracking him in the past. This story was first published on the Daily Briefing click here to subscribe so you get this and other exclusive content first, delivered ad-free and straight to your inbox! Previously, it's understood that Liverpool were also closely monitoring Gomes, though I'm reliably told that their interest has now cooled."
"So, for the time being at least, if anyone's going to sign Gomes it would probably be United, with sources close to a number of the game's leading agents informing me that there is a strong appreciation of the Brazilian's qualities at Old Trafford. Why Manchester United like Joao Gomes Joao Gomes is attracting strong interest, one source told me. United's scouts have a strong appreciation for his energetic playing style. He's seen as someone who could be perfect to replace Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte."
Manchester United have been scouting Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes and view him as a high-energy defensive midfielder capable of replacing Casemiro or Manuel Ugarte. United previously tracked Gomes and are among several clubs that have followed his progress, while Liverpool's earlier interest is reported to have cooled. Wolves are currently in a relegation battle and insist on keeping Gomes, who is under contract until 2030, so an immediate January transfer appears unlikely. The situation is expected to be monitored ahead of next summer, with no asking price publicly reported yet.
