Joe Gomez, a defender for Liverpool, has been connected to a summertime departure from the team. It’s possible that the 27-year-old is moving in quest of consistent playing time. Joe Gomez of Liverpool is reportedly being pursued by a number of Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, according to The Times.
The player has reportedly told Liverpool he wants to leave if their asking price is fulfilled, according to a report from Football Insider.
Due to rumours that he is considering his options, the 27-year-old did not go with the Reds for their opening game against Ipswich Town. The defender’s departure from Anfield before the end of the transfer window is not assured. According to reports, the player and Liverpool had mature conversations that led to his exclusion.
Joe Gomez responds to major Liverpool transfer development
Arne Slot started Jarell Quansah and Virgil van Dijk at center back, substituting Ibrahima Konate for the second half. Gomez had previously been watched by Newcastle and Fulham, but Aston Villa are currently showing a lot of interest in him.
A bid of about £40–45 million will be sufficient to complete the transaction, as the Reds value the England international at that amount. According to Football Insider, Gomez and Anthony Gordon were the subject of part-exchange negotiations between Liverpool and Newcastle, but no agreements were reached.
For their part, Aston Villa have qualified for the Champions League for the upcoming campaign, where they will face elite strikers in Europe. They would benefit greatly from the addition of Gomez, as they require defensive consistency.
