Liverpool set to miss out on transfer target with €45m deal close Liverpool Transfer Target Closing In On Atlético Madrid Move As Liverpool enters a critical summer transfer window, Arne Slot will look to address several key areas following a disappointing title defence. While the club is expected to make moves for new arrivals, with names like Yan Diomande, Bradley Barcola, and Marcos Senesi linked to Anfield, the future of current squad members is also under the microscope. Joao Gomes on Atlético Madrid’s Radar One player who could be on the move is Joao Gomes, the highly-rated midfielder currently at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Brazil international has been on Liverpool’s radar in recent months, with talk of a potential switch to Merseyside. However, Gomes now appears to be heading for a move to La Liga, with Atlético Madrid closing in on a deal. According to talkSPORT , the two clubs are nearing a verbal agreement worth around €45million (£38.

The 25-year-old joined Wolves from Clube de Regatas do Flamengo in 2023, and while he enjoyed a solid start to his time in England, the current season has proven to be a challenging one.

Wolves were officially relegated to the Championship on April 20 following a goalless draw between West Ham United and Crystal Palace. With Wolves preparing for life in the second tier, there are expectations that several first-team players, including Gomes, could leave in search of top-flight football. Gomes’ impressive performances during his time at Flamengo caught the eye of many clubs, with the midfielder winning Brazil’s top league title, the Campeonato Carioca, and the Copa Libertadores in 2021.
