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

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/joao-gomes/rcOLZhUD/"]Gomes[/a] has been incredible for the Old Gold since joining from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/flamengo-rj/WjxY29qB/"]Flamengo[/a] for just £15 million in January 2023. [/p][p]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. [/p][p]Unfortunately, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/wolves/j3Azpf5d/"]Wolves[/a]' relegation means losing some of their greatest talents, including Gomes, who is closing in on a move to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/atl-madrid/jaarqpLQ/"]Atletico Madrid[/a]. [/p][image alt="Joao Gomes' stats for Wolves this season" id="45e4eba0-118e-4254-bbe9-6bb8e93a50e2" credit-line="StatsPerform via Opta" guid="26613f1f-9469-4b8b-aeaa-c9d681299bef" original-width="1080" original-height="1080" /][p]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. [/p][p]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. [/p]
