Joao Gomes' wolves Exit now almost certain due to demotion Manchester United One candidate is visible.
This week, sports witness Gazzetta dello Sport covered claims on Napoli's interest in the midfielder. Believing the player would be keen on a move to the Partenopei, he also agreed a deal in January.
Wolves' price-tag was causing problems in the winter window, but it looked as if a demotion would free them up. Napoli have signed several Premier League players in recent years and Gomes was seen as the next target.
Things may not be easy for the Italian side, with Manchester United considered the more obvious destination.
wolves aim high
Journalist Ada Cotugno spoke to Napoli Radio Central and she focused exclusively on the Naples club's pursuit of Gomes.
He made his interest clear but also indicated the player's desire to remain at Manchester United.
Cotugno said-go tuttonapoli: : "Does Wolverhampton's demotion favor the departure of Joao Gomes? Those who have demoted do not ask too much for the sale of a player. After this year, Wolves can make an Anguilla-style sale for Joao Gomes. They value him at £60 million, and they will also have to pay Flamengo 10%."
The journalist indicated that Gomes would not be too keen to play in Italy. Even Chelsea could be an attractive destination for the 25-year-old.
"He is a regular starter, but is young and can improve. He is on the market and is being monitored by several Premier League teams, including Chelsea and Manchester United. If one of those teams comes knocking, it is difficult to tempt him from Serie A."
manchester united must move forward
The way Gomes has performed in the last two Premier League seasons is really very good for the Championship. He has been one of Wolves' best players in a disastrous season, playing 31 times.
That's why Manchester United should treat this as a big opportunity. The British press have already spoken about their interest in the midfielder and there would be no better time to pursue him.
Michael Carrick's side need at least two midfield signings. In recent seasons, he has shown an inclination towards proven Premier League stars. That's why Brian Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha were signed last summer.
Gomes would be offered a similar deal and the Red Devils could do much worse than him.
