One of the latest reports from Brazil regarding Manchester United’s interest in João Gomes paints a different picture of the situation than reported elsewhere.
According to an [**insider outlet**](https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/exclusivo-manchester-united-define-data-para-ter-joao-gomes-ex-flamengo) from Flamengo – João Gomes’ former club -, sources inside Old Trafford insist there are no advanced talks with Wolves at this stage. They deny holding any formal meetings or preparing an immediate proposal for the midfielder.
Even without concrete negotiations, Manchester United continue to track João Gomes closely. Club officials see summer 2026 as the more realistic window to move for the former Flamengo player.
Their planning for the midfield includes the arrival of two new signings next year. If they complete only one deal for that area, the priority would shift to a more attack-minded profile.
As a result, interest in João Gomes remains alive, but not urgent. The stance also has no direct link to Casemiro’s future, as the club analyse both situations separately (even though [**different sources say otherwise**](https://sportwitness.co.uk/from-brazil-joao-gomes-from-wolves-to-manchester-united-casemiro-decision-key-for-amorim/)).
On the player’s side, the scenario looks different. The story adds that João Gomes would welcome a transfer to Manchester United. He values his time at Wolves and recognises the role the club played in his development, yet he views a move to Old Trafford as a major step in his career.
For now, the next steps depend on Manchester United’s midfield business over the coming months. We’ll see if they return for João Gomes sooner than planned, or wait until 2026.
It’s worth noting that all the other Brazilian sources covering this potential transfer report talks are ongoing. There’s the chance, this Flamengo source has contacted Manchester United and received a denial, as would be expected.
