Report: Wolves in talks over deal to sell midfielder for £40m João Gomes Transfer Talk Signals Atlético Madrid Intent Credit to TalkSport for the original reporting, but the emerging narrative around João Gomes feels like one of those quietly inevitable moves that gathers pace with every passing week. Wolverhampton Wanderers may be heading towards the Championship, yet their Brazilian midfielder is moving in the opposite direction, attracting attention from one of Europe’s most demanding stages at Atletico Madrid . Signed from Flamengo in 2023 for just over £15 million, Gomes has grown into a relentless presence in midfield.
Now valued at £40 million, his trajectory reflects both personal resilience and the harsh economics of relegation. For Wolves, it is a familiar story, talent rises even when results fall. Midfield Vacancy Driving Simeone Move Following the sale of Photo IMAGO to Tottenham Hotspur , Atlético have a clear gap to fill.
Diego Simeone has long admired players who combine aggression with tactical intelligence, and Gomes appears tailored to that profile. “He really responded. ‘I think he’s a wonderful player and he’s shown real glimpses and a lot of good stuff since we arrived as well.
But I think it’s been hard for him because in a team that has struggled at times or if you’ve not got the results, it can be challenging. You can think ‘I’ve made a big move here’ and then you question things. I understand it, but he really, really stepped up the other night and that’s the level that we want to see from him all of the time now.
