Joao Gomes will reportedly play his final game for Wolves against Burnley on Sunday.

Gomes has impressed for the Old Gold since joining from Flamengo for just £15 million in January 2023. 

A ball-winning machine in the middle and a driving force in attack, the 25-year-old has developed into a top defensive midfielder. 

Unfortunately, Wolves' relegation means losing some of their talents, including Gomes, who is said to be closing in on a move to Atletico Madrid

According to Sky Sports, the Spanish giants have agreed a £39m (€45m) fee and work is ongoing to make him an Atletico player once the transfer window opens next month. 

Gomes will go from potentially playing Championship football with Wolves to Champions League football next season, a consolation after missing out on Carlos Ancelotti's Brazil squad.
