Roma Tracking Porto Forward William Gomes
Roma are monitoring Porto forward William Gomes as they look to add a winger. The two clubs previously arranged Rodrigo Mora's transfer for €25 million plus half of a future sale, while Gomes has an €80 million release clause and Porto are trying to extend his deal to 2031 with a €100 million clause. Roma could bring in Endrick on loan from Real Madrid in January before making a bigger investment in Gomes or another young attacker next summer.
Roma are reportedly watching Porto’s William Gomes as they seek a winger. Porto and Roma completed a deal last summer for Rodrigo Mora, valued at €25 million plus half of any future sale. Gomes currently has an €80 million buyout clause, and Porto want to extend his contract through 2031 while lifting that clause to €100 million.
The Brazilian joined Porto from Sao Paulo in 2025 for €9 million and has since made 67 appearances, scoring 16 goals and providing four assists. Roma may first pursue a January loan for Real Madrid’s Endrick, then consider a larger move for Gomes or another young attacker next summer.
For supporters, such transfer speculation may shape expectations around Roma’s attack and Porto’s squad planning. A January loan for Endrick could give a young player more minutes, while a future Gomes deal might affect Porto’s finances and Roma’s wage structure. Journalists and fans could see more rumor cycles, but actual societal effects are likely limited to football communities and local economies around clubs.
