Liverpool Agree €100m Deal for Record-Breaking Star

According to a FootballTransfers report published on Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Reds continue to monitor the talented attacker as they consider potential additions to their squad.

The 20-year-old has established himself as an exciting prospect since moving to Porto from São Paulo in early 2025 for a reported €9 million. Gomes enjoyed an impressive first full season in Portugal, scoring 13 goals and demonstrating his ability to influence matches in the final third. He has continued his promising form this campaign, recording two goals and two assists in seven league appearances.

Several Premier League clubs reportedly expressed interest in the Brazilian during the previous summer transfer window. However, no deal materialised, allowing Porto to retain the winger and strengthen their position by extending his contract until 2031. The Portuguese club clearly views him as an important part of its future sporting plans.

According to Portuguese publication A Bola, Gomes’ renewed agreement increases his release clause from €80 million to €100 million. The arrangement also includes a financial benefit for São Paulo, who are entitled to receive 20 per cent of any future transfer fee. The increased valuation could make negotiations more complicated for interested clubs.

Despite the improved contract, speculation surrounding Gomes’ future is expected to continue. A potential transfer in 2027 remains a possibility if the youngster maintains his development and attracts further attention from leading European clubs. Liverpool are among the teams reportedly keeping a close eye on his progress.

Gomes’ versatility could make him an attractive option for Liverpool, as the left-footed attacker can operate on either wing but is predominantly deployed on the right. His playing profile could prove particularly relevant following Mohamed Salah’s departure, although Liverpool’s eventual transfer priorities will determine whether they pursue a formal move.

Porto president André Villas-Boas explained that the contract renewal reflected the club’s appreciation of the winger’s development and commitment. He also praised Gomes for his contributions in both attacking and defensive situations, highlighting the dedication and hard work that have helped the young Brazilian achieve impressive statistical milestones.

Villas-Boas further revealed that negotiations over the extension progressed quickly because both parties wanted to continue their relationship. With his future secured until 2031, Gomes can concentrate on improving his performances while Liverpool and other interested clubs assess whether his considerable potential justifies Porto’s €100 million valuation.
