The Spaniards have already beaten the Reds to the Brazilian's signature

Unsurprisingly, following the good results the Brazilian market has given them, Real Madrid want to fish in it again. In particular, after the signing of Vinicius, Flamengo bring good memories to Real Madrid, clubs that could team up again in the transfer of Joao Gomes, the new Brazilian pearl who is already being compared to Casemiro.

According to the well-known Argentinian journalist Martin Liberman, the Chamartin side have made a full incursion into an operation that Liverpool had very advanced, as Fabrizio Romano reported. The player even expressed his desire to play for Jürgen Klopp, but the giant feared by all at Anfield has resurfaced in what is expected to be a frantic tussle between the two clubs.

With the bad taste in his mouth from the Champions League final defeat in Paris still lingering, Klopp has been dealt yet another blow in his desire to reshape the Reds' midfield. As for Jude Bellingham, a promising Dortmund midfielder wanted by Liverpool, Real Madrid have also stepped in with the aim of snatching him away for next season. A power struggle in which the recent Champions League triumph of Los Blancos puts him in the clear in both negotiations.

As far as the player is concerned, in Brazil it is reported that Joao Gomes has a higher clause to sign for Real Madrid. This is something that Real Madrid see as a comparative offence, but which they would have no problem in dealing with when the time comes to go for the player, who is valued at 30 million.

<strong>Liverpool have already been in contact with Flamengo to sign him</strong>


Liverpool, for their part, have already secured the loan of Arthur Melo in the summer to plug holes in the team's engine room due to injuries. They have an option to buy him, but Liverpool's plans are to bring a breath of fresh air into the squad by bringing in young players such as Joao Gomes. A signing that is on the way to becoming a soap opera given the expectation to see what decision the promising 21-year-old Brazilian talent will finally make.
