Liverpool and Real Madrid are expected to go head to head for Joao Gomes. The Flamengo midfielder has a release clause in his contract worth €60 million, which could be triggered by either club.
The Premier League side have explored the possibility of adding the 21-year-old to their team to reinforce their midfield. However, Real Madrid are also looking at him as a replacement for Casemiro. The veteran left Los Blancos for Manchester United this summer, reuniting with Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford.
Joao Gomes set for big transfer soon?
The Brazilian has been available for all 64 matches this season, having an impressive fitness record. He made 21 starts in the league, and is expected to be an important player for the future.
Gomes can provide a robust and energetic presence in the middle of the park for both teams. Real Madrid have Aurelien Tchouameni as the only natural replacement for Casemiro. And Fabinho is the only starting defensive midfielder for Liverpool. Which means that both teams will have to convince him of adequate game time in their respective projects.
The 2022 Champions League finalists are also clashing over their interest in Jude Bellingham. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is expected to join an elite club next summer. And both the teams have been keeping tabs over a potential deal in 2023.
