Premier League heavyweights Liverpool are reportedly prepared to split ways with central defender Joe Gomez during the forthcoming summer transfer window, as reported by Ryan Taylor of GiveMeSport.

The Englishman is one of the few players to have been around since Jurgen Klopp took over, despite being signed during Brendan Rodgers’ tenure. The Englishman earns £95,000 a week and has appeared in 172 games for the Reds, scoring six goals in all competitions.

Gomez has been a superb player when fit. However, he has dealt with injury problems throughout his time on Merseyside. He’s been out for 141 games, which is a lot, and injuries have kept him from stringing together a string of good games.

Joe Gomez is a player Liverpool is prepared to move on from during the next summer transfer window

Since Ibrahima Konate’s transfer to the club, Gomez has fallen into the role of fourth-string central defender. Liverpool seems ready to break their relationship this summer when plenty of new things will be happening. Newcastle United is one of the teams that want to get him. They could be able to get Liverpool to let him go if they make a good enough offer. Gomez is at the peak of his career. He would thrive with more playing time than he would get at Liverpool.

Liverpool, meanwhile, can ill afford to reconfigure their defence this summer with Joel Matip apparently set to depart and Virgil van Dijk regressing. It is unclear whether or not a new central defender will be acquired given the team’s focus on the middle of the pitch.

Gomez’s adaptability as a defender means he can play in a variety of positions under Jurgen Klopp. The homegrown quota at the club, which has to be addressed next summer, is increased by the £95,000-a-week star. James Milner and Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain’s departures add to Liverpool’s need to replace them with English players this summer. There aren’t many cheaper backup defenders than Gomez, who is under contract at Anfield until 2027.

It has been reported that the Reds would want to acquire midfielder Andy Diouf. However, they will have to compete with teams from all around Europe for his services

The Reds should keep the 25-year-old and aid him in improving his fitness and technique over the preseason. A decision to trade Gomez next summer would be made too soon in his career. It has been reported that Liverpool would want to acquire midfielder Andy Diouf. However, they will have to compete with teams from all around Europe for his services. A recent report from Corriere dello Sport, reported by Sport Witness, claims that the 20-year-old has impressed Liverpool. The Reds aren’t the only team keeping an eye on the France U-21 international. Bologna is also interested.
