Manchester United target Joao Gomes could be on his way to Napoli from Wolverhampton Wanderers this winter, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

The Brazil international has been a key player in the centre of the park for the Midlands outfit, but he could be on the move in the coming days.

Wolves look almost destined for Premier League relegation, given they are languishing 20th in the table and 14 points adrift of the safe zone.

It is now reported that the Serie A champions are working hard to land Gomes and negotiations are already underway with Wolves for the player.

Gomes has already agreed personal terms with Napoli, but he won’t come on the cheap with Wolves set to demand at least £40 million for him.

United have also been credited with an interest in his services, but they are unlikely to make such a huge outlay and prefer a low-cost addition.

The club could sign Al-Hilal midfielder Ruben Neves for £20m.
