Joao Gomes: United hold talks over summer switch

The 26-year-old’s physical issues, coupled with a perceived lack of pace, could prove disastrous in the English top flight.

Thankfully, The Sun have claimed the 20-time English league champions do have other Brazil internationals on their radar, who are a better fit to replace Casemiro.

Despite Wolverhampton Wanderers’ disastrous season, Joao Gomes has continued to excel, impressing with his defensive solidity and his ability on the ball.

With Wolves going down, the 25-year-old could be available for as low as £40 million, and United have held talks with the player’s camp over a possible summer move.

“United have cast the midfield net wide, with several Premier League-based players on their radar.

“Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali, Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba have been tracked, while United have held informal dialogue with representatives of Joao Gomes at Wolves.”

Joao Gomes was a target for the Old Trafford side back in January as well, but INEOS thought it prudent to wait until the summer.

Interestingly, Atalanta have identified the former Flamengo ace as a possible replacement for Ederson. A merry-go-round could ensue and, hopefully, United land the right Brazilian dynamo.
