Manchester United and Liverpool have contacted Wolves regarding a potential transfer for midfielder Joao Gomes, according to reports on Sunday.
The pursuit of Gomes highlights a strategic scramble for midfield reinforcement among England's top clubs as they look to strengthen their rosters.
"Liverpool and Manchester United have both made contact with Wolves over a possible move for Joao Gomes," a Sports Mole reporter said. The midfielder carries a valuation of £38 million [1]. Both clubs are reportedly exploring the feasibility of the move to bolster their central options.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is engaged in separate talks concerning Jonathan Rowe. The club continues to scout potential signings to reshape its squad depth, a recurring theme for the London side in recent windows.
Interest in Mohamed Salah has also surfaced, with a side from Major League Soccer expressing interest in the forward. While Salah remains a focal point for his current club, the interest from the U.S. suggests a growing appetite for established global stars in the American league.
Additional movements in the market include Manchester United's efforts to secure Olise. Reports indicate the club has offered to include Wan-Bissaka as part of a deal to finalize that transfer [2].

The simultaneous interest from two historic rivals in Joao Gomes suggests a high premium on defensive midfield stability in the Premier League. Furthermore, the potential move of a high-profile asset like Mohamed Salah to the MLS would signal a shift in the league's ability to attract players in their prime rather than just at the end of their careers.
