After starting the pre-season training camp in Portugal with the Wolves, Brazil international player Joao Gomez went back to England to have a medical on Thursday before signing his contract with Villa.
“Wolves accept a £38m package and authorize medical for João Gomes to AVFC,” as journalist Fabrizio Romano reported.
Talks between the two clubs, Wolverhampton and Aston Villa, have progressed quickly as Gomes already waved goodbye to his teammates on Thursday morning.
Villa’s move for the 25-old player comes after Amadou Onana suffered a severe knee injury while playing for Belgium at the World Cup and Tielemans’ 35 million transfer to Manchester United.
With all these absences, Emery needed an elite, proven Premier League ball-winning expert to stabilize the defensive spine for the Aston Villa club.
And after Wolverhampton’s relegation to the Championship, Villa recognized a perfect opportunity that matches their requirements with a reasonable valuation.
This deal is considered a prime market as they acquired a top-tier international, who had been a standout shining light in the top flight with 100 appearances for Wolves.
Gomes was also heavily targeted by many other football clubs in both England and Spain. From Manchester United, Liverpool, and Atlético Madrid.
And when Rojiblancos’ negotiation collapsed over the valuation. Aston Villa sped up the whole process, moving with immense speed to finalize the agreement. Pulling the player immediately from the Wolves’ pre-season training camp to England.
