Flamengo chief slams 'lies' after Joao Gomes admits to Liverpool 'dream' transfer

Flamengo's vice-president has shut down recent rumours over Liverpool-linked Joao Gomes, who has been the subject of increasing transfer speculation.

The Brazilian midfielder has been mentioned as a possible target for the Reds of late, with the player himself admitting a move to Anfield was something he 'dreams' of as a professional footballer. Much to the delight of his current employers, however, Gomes recently agreed a contract extension with the club until 2027.

Talk of one of Flamengo's star players potentially being on the move appears to have not been well-received by those at the club as they build up to next month's all-important Copa Libertadores final against fellow Brazilian side, Athletico Paranaense.
