New report: Joao Gomes' transfer to Atletico Madrid is stalling because of the agent. And you're right, Mendes trying to get more to give him a bigger cut does not surprise me.

But isn't Joao Gomes represented by Carlos Leite Sports, who, as far as I can see, are not linked to Mendes in any way, shape or form?
I do recall, when Gomes joined us, Mendes was asked by FC Lyon to try and convince him to join them instead, but Gomes rejected his help.

Mendes, as he works for Gestifute, was presenting Bernardo Silva to Atletico Madrid before he signed for Real.
I believe Mendes was working as an agent to provide Joao Gomes to Atletico as part of the deal, so Mendes moved Joao Gomes on for Wolves and provided Bernardo Silva to Atletico Madrid.
The Gomes deal was off due to the Silva deal collapsing and Silva moving to Real.
I think he should go, as he should play CL football. But he may stay with the changes at Wolves over the past few weeks. And no WC now for 4 years.

Gomes to Atletico Madrid would be really good for his career, and I suspect Wolves are going to sell him, cuz they offered Andre a long deal, and having 2 defensive minded midfielders reduces the creativity of the squad. We should sign a more creative midfielder.
