Joao Gomes has continued to be linked with Manchester United in recent months.

The club are preparing for major midfield changes ahead of the summer transfer window.

Casemiro has already announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season.

That decision has forced United to draw up a shortlist of possible replacements.

Several names have already been discussed internally.

Gomes is among the midfielders previously linked as part of the rebuild at Old Trafford.

Now, a major update has emerged regarding the Wolves star’s future.

According to journalist Nicolo Schira on X, Joao Gomes has agreed personal terms with Atletico Madrid ahead of the summer window.

The report states that the Brazilian midfielder has agreed a contract until 2031 worth around €4.5 million per year.

Diego Simeone’s side are now reportedly pushing forward in negotiations after reaching an agreement with the player side for Gomes.

A club-to-club agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers is still yet to be completed.

Joao Gomes has consistently been linked with Manchester United.

Reports in November claimed the midfielder had been discussed internally as part of a wider squad refresh.

His name has also repeatedly appeared on shortlists connected to replacing Casemiro this summer.

The situation surrounding Atletico Madrid’s midfield is also notable.

The Spanish side have additionally been linked with another midfielder connected to the Red Devils in recent months.

Reports have suggested that Atletico have already agreed terms with Atalanta midfielder Ederson.

That deal also still requires a club-to-club agreement before anything can be finalised.

For now, Manchester United continue to assess multiple targets.

It is expected to be a busy summer rebuild under the club’s new sporting structure.
