Atletico Madrid and Manchester United are preparing for a transfer battle for Wolverhampton star Joao Gomez.

The Spanish giants are looking to find a successor for Conor Gallagher after the Englishman completed his move to Tottenham for ?35 million this year. Gallagher's departure closed the gap in the center of the field for Diego Simeone's team, and the Brazilian Gomez was identified as the ideal candidate to provide the necessary intensity of play.

According to The Daily Mail, Atletico have already switched their respect to Gomez, otherwise it will be difficult to sign him. The Madrid team needs gravel here and immediately, looking forward to the upcoming playoffs of the Champions League and the fight for the top 4 in La Lisa.

The prote stink is facing fierce competition from Manchester United, which has been following the Brazilian for several months, as well as from the Italian Napoli. Although Atletico are in cash after the sale of Gallagher and have a pressing need for gravel, United can gain advantage in the long term through the features of such gravel.

Marca reports that Gomez is on the verge of losing the Premier League, as he is impressed by the culture and intensity of English football. Recently, he declared his dedication to the fight for survival with Wolves, saying: “I will give my life on the field so that the team competes for victory.”.

The biggest disadvantage for any buyer is losing the position of the club itself. Wolverhampton are at the bottom of the league table, and the sale of a key player could be fatal to their chances of winning.

It turns out that the club has a significant amount of money (over 40 million pounds), indicating the value of the asset. Most of the Premier League contenders, including Manchester United, are probably ready to check until the summer, if the potential development of the Wolves can reduce the price of gravel, Protea Atletico does not have the luxury of checking.
