Aston Villa signs Joao Gomes from Wolves for £38 million

Aston Villa has secured midfielder Joao Gomes from Wolves for £38 million, comprising a £34 million initial fee and £4 million in add-ons. Gomes is the second signing of the summer for Villa, following the club-record acquisition of Johan Manzambi. This move occurs as Villa reshapes its midfield after selling Youri Tielemans to Manchester United and coping with Amadou Onana's long-term injury. The club is expected to see further departures, including Morgan Rogers to Chelsea and Lucas Digne, who may join Paris Saint-Germain. Gomes ends a three-and-a-half-year spell at Wolves, making 130 appearances and earning 10 caps for Brazil.
