Joao Gomes will play his final game for Wolves against Burnley on Sunday.

Gomes has been incredible for the Old Gold since joining from Flamengo for just £15 million in January 2023. 

A ball-winning machine in the middle and a driving force in attack, the 25-year-old has arguably become one of the division's best defensive midfielders. 

Unfortunately, Wolves' relegation means losing some of their greatest talents, including Gomes, who is closing in on a move to Atletico Madrid

According to Sky Sports, the Spanish giants have agreed a £39m (€45m) fee and work is ongoing to make him an Atletico player once the transfer window re-opens next month. 

Gomes will go from potentially playing Championship football with Wolves to Champions League football next season, a consolation after missing out on Carlos Ancelotti's Brazil squad. 

Chances are you’re about to lose.
