Gomes, 24, is a former Portugal youth teamer and represented the country at the prestigious 2015 U17 Algarve Tournament, before he was promoted to the U18s.
During his three-year association with Liverpool, he didn't make his senior debut but featured for the club in the U18 Premier League and Premier League 2.
Jardel and Gomes made their debuts for Guinea-Bissau against Gabon on November 17, 2022.
