Liverpool and Manchester United's tough fight ahead

The Red Devils and the Reds, both in need of solutions to improve their respective squads, have set their sights on the same player. Joao Gomes, one of the most promising players in Brazilian football and who now belongs to Flamengo where he has already begun to shine and show all the qualities he could offer in the Premier League.

The teams that have had a shaky start to the season seem to be more inclined to look to the winter transfer window for reinforcements. In many cases, both tend to coincide in their objectives to finish shaping their teams, especially in the month of January. Therefore, they are already outlining their strategy to acquire the best players available to fight for the Premier League title.

Manchester United and Liverpool now coincide in one of them. Erik ten Hag's side, to finish what they failed to achieve in the summer transfer window. For his part, Jürgen Klopp wants to find a replacement for Arthur Melo (26 years old) who does not convince him, as it was rumoured these days that he could leave the team soon as he has not met the expectations after arriving as the last reinforcement before the Deadline thinking to make up for the absences due to injury.

This is what has led two of the Premier League's leading clubs to fight for the same Brazilian talent, which is precisely what the local media are talking about. According to the publication of the aforementioned tabloid, it is Joao Gomes (21 years old), a promising Flamengo player who plays as an attacker and is considered a future star of world football. That is why Jürgen Klopp would be willing to give him that great opportunity to be in European football and in the best league in the world.

<strong>What is the value of Joao Gomes?</strong>

Scorer of two goals and as many assists in 38 games this season, this diamond in the rough is a player who is beginning to be sought after in Europe. What's more, both Liverpool and United are looking to bid around £30 million to convince Flamengo, who know how to price their players and sell them to the highest bidder, as has happened with Lucas Paqueta, who is now at West Ham.
