Wolverhampton midfielder Joao Gomes has no plans to sign a contract with Zenit Saint Petersburg and wants to move to Atletico Madrid, despite a higher financial offer from the Russian club.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to journalist Ekrem Konur.
The footballer has made it clear that he wants to move to the Spanish club. In April, Wolverhampton wanted 40 million euros for the player. Currently, a verbal agreement between the English and Spanish clubs is close to being reached, and the transfer fee is expected to be around 45 million euros.
Leeds, Atalanta and Galatasaray are also interested in the midfielder.
This season, Gomes has played 40 matches for the club in all competitions, scoring one goal and providing three assists. According to Transfermarkt, his transfer value is 35 million euros.
