Joao Gomes is reportedly the subject of advanced talks between Man Utd and Wolves, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The midfielder has long been on the radar of Man Utd, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. Man Utd have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Liverpool are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. In season 25/26, Man Utd are conceding 1.64 goals per game (18 in 11 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Joao Gomes would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Wolves continue to be linked with Conor Coady while Man Utd are also rumoured to be tracking Jeremy Jacquet, Jorthy Mokio and Aurelien Tchouameni. Need more Man Utd transfer rumours?
