Gomes first joined Lille on loan in 2022 and made a permanent move in 2024 after performing well in his initial stint.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-100908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HDZf7wPaMAEhHvH-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Andre Gomes embracing teammate Isma\u00efla Mandi- Photo credit: LOSC via X\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Andre Gomes embracing teammate Isma\u00efla Mandi- Photo credit: LOSC via X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, this season saw limited action for the former FC Barcelona and Everton FC player, who only featured in 15 league matches.
