Wolverhampton Wanderers are struggling in the Premier League, but some of their players are catching the attention of major clubs. Despite being at the bottom of the table, Wolves have talent that interests top European teams. Brazilian international João Gomes, nicknamed “The Pitbull,” is now on the radar of clubs from Serie A and the Premier League.

Napoli and United Tracking Gomes

Interest is also coming from England. Manchester United has reportedly included the 24-year-old in their list of midfield targets for the next transfer window. The club aims to acquire younger players who can grow into important roles, and Gomes fits this vision.

Wolves Hold the Upper Hand

The Wanderers are in a strong position, as they have no immediate need to sell Gomes. He is under contract until the summer of 2030, with an option for an additional year. This long-term deal gives them leverage in negotiations, even as they face challenges on the field.

Wolves currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League with just seven points from 21 matches. They are fighting to avoid relegation, but Gomes remains a dependable player, providing crucial balance and energy in midfield during this tough season.
