"Man United are looking to sign a new defensive midfielder in 2026, and they have drawn up several targets in recent weeks. The likes of Carlos Baleba and Elliot Anderson are on there, and the same can be said for Joao Gomes. Gomes, who joined Wolves just under three years ago from Flamengo, has taken well to Premier League football, although he has struggled to stand out this season in a side that currently sits bottom of the table."
"Man United will need to hope that Wolves get relegated at the end of the season, as Pete O'Rourke (via Football Insider) has revealed that Gomes will be very expensive next summer, due to the fact that he has a number of years remaining on his contract at Molineux. There's a long list of midfielder that Man United are being linked with, and Joao Gomes is the latest name to be added to that list."
"The problem for Man United probably is that he signed a new contract not too long ago as well to keep him at Wolves until 2030. So Wolves will be demanding a decent fee for the Brazilian if they were to sell him. He's an energetic midfielder with Premier League experience and can play in a double pivot midfield which Ruben Amorim likes as well. He's a player United are well aware of and they'll keep tabs on the situation."
Manchester United are seeking a new defensive midfielder for summer 2026 and have identified targets including Carlos Baleba, Elliot Anderson and Joao Gomes. Joao Gomes moved to Wolves from Flamengo nearly three years ago and adapted to Premier League football, but has not stood out this season as Wolves sit bottom of the table. United officials view him as a candidate for next summer. Gomes signed a contract with Wolves through 2030, which would make any transfer expensive. Relegation for Wolves could lower the price and motivate Gomes to remain in top-flight football. He is energetic and suited to a double-pivot role.
