Joao Gomes’ name is constantly popping up in reports about the upcoming January window, much to the annoyance of Wolves and Rob Edwards.
The Brazilian midfielder is subject to interest from Manchester United, and talks are reportedly advanced.
The Red Devils believe Joao Gomes’ head has been turned, but they could face a battle as Chelsea and Tottenham are also in for the Wolves star.
How much is Joao Gomes worth in today’s market?
Information from within the club suggests that the midfielder will stay at the Old Gold beyond January, but supporters are growing fearful about that chance.
Wolves fans think Joao Gomes will be sold in January
Despite stories coming out about Wolves intending to stay firm on keeping Joao Gomes, there are multiple reports that suggest the opposite.
It has been claimed that talks have ramped up between Wolves and Manchester United for Gomes, and with the Old Gold fighting in a relegation battle, it is not ideal.
Rob Edwards addresses Joao Gomes transfer rumours
For the 24-year-old, there are multiple reasons for him to stay until the end of the season, but he will have the World Cup in the back of his mind.
And with all that being said, supporters are not feeling confident about him staying at the club in the next window.
Fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, as well as the Molineux News Facebook page to drop their concerns and thoughts on the situation.
One fan said, “Wouldn’t blame him for wanting out, to be honest; he’s too good for us. As we stand, we are a mid-table championship side at best.”
Another followed up with, “Can’t blame him at all, World Cup next year. We’ll need to sell before relegation; otherwise, we’ll lose 1/3 of the value.”
A different supporter said, “We will cash in on him.”
Meanwhile, that was backed up by someone stating, “He would be a fool not to take up the chance [to join Manchester United], to be honest, as it may be his last.”
Another said, “Sell him and get what they can. Upon relegation his value will plummet, and I can’t imagine he would want to hang about and represent the club in the championship and another relegation battle.”
Additionally, one fan stated, “He won’t be with us next season, so get the best deal when it’s available.”
It would be a blow for Rob Edwards to lose Joao Gomes
Whether or not Wolves are still with a chance of survival when the end of January comes along, if Rob Edwards loses Joao Gomes, it will be a blow for the head coach.
Edwards will want to have as many quality players around the club as possible so he can show supporters what sort of football he can bring them, even if they go down to the Championship.
Are you confident Rob Edwards will help Wolves avoid relegation?
If reports are true that he has been told Gomes is going nowhere, and then he is sold, it will just be one of the many errors Jeff Shi has made at the club.
It would also showcase the circus that has been happening behind the scenes at the club for quite some time and give fans another reason to go against Shi and Fosun.
