Liverpool are said to be preparing a ‘proposal’ for Flamengo’s young holding midfielder Joao Gomes for the winter window.
This comes courtesy of a tweet from journalist Julio Miguel Neto amid the club’s ongoing struggle with injuries in the middle of the park.

The 21-year-old has previously admitted his admiration for Jurgen Klopp’s outfit, telling ESPN Brasil: “Liverpool are a team I’d play for. I have the greatest desire to play.”
If the interest from our side is genuine, we’ve already got a significant advantage over any other potential suitors should we look to bring the Brazilian to Anfield in January.
Whilst it would appear that we’re turning a corner as far as our midfield injury list is concerned, it’s clear that the situation could deteriorate at any point in the season – a distinct likelihood now that the fixture schedule will be increasingly cramped after the World Cup following a couple of postponements.
As for what the midfielder could offer Liverpool from January onwards, here’s what his manager, Paulo Sousa, told Globo: “He is a player that has a unique characteristic in our squad in the offensive and defensive ball disputes. He is very strong physically.”
With Harvey Elliott now being criticised in regard to a lack of balance in his style of play, someone who can juggle both the offensive and defensive demands of a midfield role could prove a more than valuable addition in the middle of the season.
