The versatile winger scored eight times in the Portuguese top-flight in the 2025/26 campaign. It was his first full season with the team, and he also netted four times in the Europa League.

suitors are lining up
asromalive According to reports, the queue of fans for William Gomes has increased in the last few months.
Atletico Madrid is interested and so are Juventus and Roma. For now, the Italian club have not gone further than a simple request for information on the 20-year-old Brazilian.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United are also in the running, with the talent having an €80m release clause.
Porto know the club are not paying €80 million, so their demand is €45 million, which could make a deal affordable for English clubs. If an offer comes in for less than that amount, Porto won't even sit at the negotiating table.
clubs must wait
As this was only Gomes' first full season at Porto, he has a lot of growing up to do in Portugal. That's why they probably need to run another campaign with them before they move out.
Clubs should also have the same attitude. Signing him immediately would pose a risk, especially as the winger has never played for Brazil beyond U17s level.
Porto are aware that Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United will be keeping an eye on the talent. There is no pressure on him to sell and there is every possibility that his value will rise close to the release clause amount by 2027.
