Liverpool are said to have Joao Gomes in their sights ahead of the January transfer window, however judging by a reliable source the Reds seem unlikely to make a move so early in the season.
Based on tweets from ESPN’s Ekrem Konur and Martin Liberman, it appears Jurgen Klopp’s men are at risk of losing the 21-year-old to Real Madrid.
I have information that he is very close to Real Madrid. The White House would pay 30 million euros for him. https://t.co/ekD7AwiLH6

With the pair agreeing that Los Blancos are ‘planning’ to launch a €30m offer in favor of Flamengo, it remains to be seen whether the Merseysiders will be forced to make a decision as early as the winter window.

Even if our recruiting team agrees with the stance taken by Fabrizio Romano, it seems unlikely that we will simply avoid getting in the way of Carlo Ancelotti’s men if they intend to snap up Gomes’s signature in the near future.

Also in the market for Jude Bellingham next summer, we can’t afford to be usurped by the Champions League champions for potentially two more targets in midfield.
The interest in Aurelien Tchouameni, though fizzled out, has finally shown that our transfer ambition is still alive and well (if the £64m purchase of Darwin Nunez wasn’t demonstrative enough of that fact) and we’ll have to see that spirit is sustained. if Real Madrid make their intentions clear.
