Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes is set to join Aston Villa in a deal worth £38 million, following Wolves' relegation from the Premier League. The transfer includes an initial £34 million plus £4 million in add-ons. Gomes has left Wolves' training camp in Portugal and will undergo a medical on Thursday. Aston Villa requires midfield reinforcements after selling Youri Tielemans to Manchester United for £35 million and losing Amadou Onana to a serious knee injury sustained at the World Cup. Villa is also close to signing Switzerland international Johan Manzambi from Freiburg for a club record fee over £50 million. Atletico Madrid had shown interest in Gomes but did not finalize a deal. The 25-year-old Brazil international made 41 appearances for Wolves last season, scoring seven goals in 130 total appearances since joining from Flamengo in 2023.
