Bayer 04 hot for a Brazil sweep

Bayer Leverkusen have often had good experiences with Brazilians. No wonder the Werkself have their sights set on Joao Gomes, the next samba player.

The defensive midfield is one of the weak points in the Bayer Leverkusen squad. In order to upgrade to this position, Joao Gomes is a new signing. The 21-year-old is under contract with Brazilian giants Flamengo and is considered one of the biggest talents in the league.

As reported by Globo Esporte, Leverkusen representatives have traveled to Brazil over the past few days to watch the winner live on site. The Werkself would therefore make an offer of 15 million euros to free Joao Gomes.

However, there are two catches: On the one hand, after 90 minutes of information, Real Madrid and Liverpool FC are also watching the midfielder very closely. On the other hand, Flamengo would not give up their top performer until next summer and not in winter, as Bayer 04 had hoped.

Flamengo are in the final of the Copa Libertadores (South America's equivalent of the Champions League) at the end of October and could take part in the Club World Cup early next year if they win. For this one would like to know Joao Gomes in his team.
