Atlético de Madrid is interested in signing 24-year-old Brazilian Wolverhampton midfielder João Gomes as a replacement for Gallagher. Manager Simeone likes João Gomes, but there is reportedly no consensus on the board about pursuing a negotiation as they are aware a transfer would be expensive. The English press recently noted interest in the Brazilian from Manchester United, but Wolverhampton has not yet received any official contact from Atlético.
