FC Porto Transfer Market: William Gomes Linked Again to Atlético... and Others

William Gomes has once again been linked with a move to Atlético Madrid, according to Friday's AS newspaper, which also reports interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Roma.

Despite the Brazilian winger being coveted by the Rojiblancos, FC Porto is unwilling to facilitate his departure. The Dragons intend to keep the 20-year-old in their squad, and any club wishing to sign him will need to negotiate a substantial fee or meet his release clause, set at 80 million euros, as A BOLA previously reported last week.

The Dragons' number 7 was a pivotal player for Francesco Farioli in their league triumph and is already considered one of the club's brightest prospects. The Spanish newspaper states that the aforementioned clubs have already inquired about William's situation with the blue and white emblem, but no formal offers have yet been submitted.

The Brazilian, whom the publication compares to Luis Díaz, is under contract with FC Porto for three more seasons, until June 2029. It's worth noting that São Paulo, from whom Porto acquired the player for nine million euros in January 2025, retains a 20% stake in his economic rights.

In the recently concluded season, his best in a short senior career, he scored 13 goals and provided two assists in 46 appearances.
