The report adds that Liverpool have also held talks with Wolves to discuss a fee for their Brazilian midfielder.
Gomes had appeared to be on course to join Atletico Madrid this summer in a deal worth €45m (£38.3m).

However, Atletico pulled the plug on the move this week as they were angered by Jorge Mendes, who represents Gomes, over his decision to push Bernardo Silva towards signing for Real Madrid earlier this summer.
Silva, who left Manchester City on a free transfer at the end of last season, had been in talks to join Atletico before Mendes encouraged Real Madrid to make their move after Jose Mourinho returned as head coach.
Unhappy with Mendes’ conduct, Atletico instead reached an agreement to sign Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand for €40m (£34m) plus add-ons.
Gomes, meanwhile, made 35 appearances in the Premier League last season but was unable to prevent Wolves from relegation.
Wolves signed Gomes in a £15m deal from Flamengo three years ago. The Brazilian side also included a 10 per cent sell-on clause.
