Goncalves was recently connected with Manchester United and Liverpool by Record, with translation from Sport Witness, and it now appears Arsenal is also in the running.
According to 90min, the Gunners may have a lot of money to spend this summer, and Goncalves is one of the names on their radar.
According to the article, Goncalves has taken on a position comparable to that of Bruno Fernandes at Sporting, so it’s easy to see why Manchester United would be interested in a player of this caliber.
Liverpool could also use someone like that, as they never truly replaced Philippe Coutinho at Anfield, and might benefit from a little shift in strategy to give them a new dimension next season, as clubs appear to have figured out Jurgen Klopp’s basic tactical approach.
Arsenal, meanwhile, must urgently sign a player like Goncalves following such a disastrous 2020/21 season, with the Portugal international may be suitable as a long-term successor for Mesut Ozil, as well as to fill the shoes of leaving loanee Martin Odegaard.
