Wolverhampton, UK — João Gomes, the dynamic Brazilian midfielder and one of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ most admired players, has reportedly turned down a tempting £20,000‑a‑week offer from a rival club to extend his stay at Molineux Stadium and remain with the club he has grown to love.
Gomes, who was voted the Supporters’ Player of the Season in the 2024/25 campaign after an impressive and consistent display in Wolves’ midfield, has become a favourite among the Wolves faithful. His tireless energy, tackling, and drive in the centre of the park made him a standout performer and a vital part of Vitor Pereira’s plans last season.
Despite interest from elsewhere and the financial appeal of the offer on the table, the 24‑year‑old chose loyalty and long‑term connection with the club over immediate financial gain. Sources within the club suggest that Gomes sees his future at Wolves as part of a broader project to help the team climb the Premier League table.
A Wolves spokesperson said: “We are delighted that João has committed his future here. His professionalism, passion and connection with our supporters are exactly what we value at this club.”
Fans have responded with overwhelming support across social media and at Molineux, where banners and chants celebrated the midfielder’s decision to stay. One supporter wrote: “That’s what Wolves spirit is all about — loyalty first.”
Gomes’ commitment is seen as a major boost for Wolves’ ambitions this season, with supporters hopeful that retaining one of their most influential players will translate into improved performances on the pitch.
The club now turns its attention to upcoming Premier League fixtures, buoyed by the news that such a key figure remains firmly in the Old Gold ranks.
