European powerhouses are planning an unexpected last-minute bid for a “top, top, top professional” from Liverpool.
AC Milan is reportedly keen on signing Liverpool defender Joe Gomez before the summer transfer window closes.
The 28-year-old isn’t a central figure for Liverpool, serving more as a squad option for the Premier League champions. It will be interesting to see if he considers a move to the Italian club, especially since he has also been linked with other teams.
Gomez Would Enhance Milan’s Squad
There’s no doubt he has the quality to start for Milan and could be a valuable addition at the right price. The club is looking to bolster their defensive depth and has been connected with several players recently, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
Gomez would be an ideal fit due to his versatility. He can play in central defense, as a fullback, or even as a defensive midfielder. Besides his strong defensive skills, he is also very adept with the ball, potentially adding a new dynamic to Milan’s defense.
Liverpool Should Retain Joe Gomez
On the other hand, Liverpool is already short on defensive depth. With only three experienced central defenders, it seems unlikely they would allow Gomez to leave. There’s been speculation about Liverpool pursuing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, but that deal hasn’t materialized yet.
It will be intriguing to see how this situation unfolds in the coming days. Liverpool must maintain squad depth to compete effectively in multiple tournaments, aiming to defend their Premier League title and pursue success in the UEFA Champions League.
Gomez has proven to be an invaluable squad player over the years, and the team will need him this season. He’s highly regarded by manager Arne Slot, who has referred to him as a “top, top, top professional.”
