The LOSC management is accumulating disappointments in terms of its players' contracts. After Jonathan David, about to leave the club at the end of his contract, Angel Gomes could also follow the same path since Ruben Amorim wants him at Manchester United.
While the future of Jonathan David monopolizes attention, LOSC could well lose another executive next summer. Angel Gomes, at the end of his contract in June 2025, also attracts envy. Among his suitors, a certain Manchester United, a club which developed him and saw him grow, and which seems determined to bring back its former prodigy. For the northern club, this situation amounts to a new disillusionment. After their Canadian striker, who is also expected to leave the club at the end of his contract, the departure of the England international would mean the loss of another key piece without transfer compensation. A situation which weakens not only the workforce but also the finances of the Mastiffs, who could have hoped for a good sum for a player of this caliber since he is still valued at 28 million euros on the specialized site Transfer market.
A Portuguese connection already made with Amorim
According to recent information from The Sunthe Red Devils are very interested in the 24-year-old midfielder, trained in their ranks and making his professional debut at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim, new coach of the Mancuniens after the dismissal of Erik Ten Hag, would have validated this idea to strengthen his midfield. The Portuguese coach also knows Gomes well, having faced him during the 2020/2021 season, when the player was on loan to Boavista in Portugal. This connection could play a decisive role in the negotiations. Despite the interest of other Premier League leaders such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle, Manchester United seems to remain one step ahead in this matter. Angel Gomes himself does not hide his attachment to his former club: “It would be difficult to say no”he confided recently, suggesting an opening for a future return to Old Trafford. If his departure seems inevitable, LOSC supporters can still hope to see him shine in their colors until the end of the season. But one thing is certain, its future will no longer be written at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
