This player could be Liverpool's next big signing

For some weeks now there has been talk in England about Liverpool's interest in signing the all-round midfielder from Flamengo of Rio de Janeiro.  Rookie sensation Joao Gomes is one of the stars of the Copa Libertadores finalists from Rio de Janeiro. With his performances he has caught the eye of German coach Jürgen Klopp.

Well, in the last few hours the player has been very well predisposed for an eventual transfer to the "reds". Speaking to ESPN, he said: "Liverpool is a team I would play for. I have a great desire to play there. "Playing in the Champions League is my biggest dream in football" Joao Gomes is the talented 21-year-old Brazilian youngster from Flamengo of Rio de Janeiro who is being closely watched by the two Premiership giants. The all-round midfielder has just renewed his contract with "Mengao" until 2027, so signing him will be no easy task.

What's more, there is speculation that Liverpool are willing to pay €35m for his signature, according to local media. But it is not only the Premier League that is looking for Joao Gomes, Atlético Madrid have also shown interest in the player, as have AC Milan. Rio are expecting moves in the upcoming winter transfer window.

From the offices of the Metropolitano they are following with great interest the delicate situation of Jürgen Klopp's historic team. We are talking about Brazilian Roberto Firmino, the 30-year-old striker has not accepted the offer to renew his contract with Liverpool. His contract expires in June 2023, so from January he will be able to negotiate with any club.

<strong>A Brazilian would arrive and another Brazilian would leave</strong>

Firmino is unhappy in England and would be happy to leave Liverpool as a free agent next year. The Maceió-born striker, who has scored three goals in five games this season, is likely to have several suitors but Atletico and Juventus have the edge in the race to sign him even in the winter transfer window.
