Liverpool have had a manic summer so far but their transfer business is far from over.

The Reds have a clear goal next season and that is to retain the Premier League title.

However, based on their transfer activity, that is the bare minimum.

Arne Slot appears to be building a team full of superstars and one that will look to win absolutely everything available to them.

Many players have been linked with a move away, especially in attack, with the likes of Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliott all rumoured with an Anfield exit.

However, the defence will also see a major revamp and there is one player in particular who is wanted by a handful of clubs, with Leeds United the newest team to join the queue.

The newly-promoted teams have a very tough task on their hands as staying in the league is harder than ever before.

The gap between them and the rest appears to be getting bigger year-on-year, with clubs having to spend more and more money each time to even stand a chance.

Leeds look like they are going to do just that and have clear intentions of staying up, with the Yorkshire club hoping to build from the back, starting with signing Joe Gomez according to The Guardian.

Liverpool value the 28-year-old at £30m, a justifiable price tag given his quality and due to the fact that he has two years remaining on his contract.

The Whites join Sunderland, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham and Burnley in the race for his signature, highlighting just how in-demand he really is.

Ability has never been a problem for the Englishman but injuries have been, with the defender missing a whopping 275 games through injury in his 10 years on Merseyside.

28 of these came last season, suggesting it is not getting any better, making this move a big gamble if anyone does sign him.

Gomez is Liverpool’s longest-serving player and has been with the club since 2015, with Jurgen Klopp previously labelling him as “outstanding” and believing that the club owe him a lot.

However, despite constantly being linked with a move away, the Reds may need him to stick around given the uncertain futures of their centre-backs.

Jarell Quansah is wanted by Bundesliga teams and could very well leave if a decent offer comes in for him, while Ibrahima Konate, well, nobody is really sure.

The Frenchman was offered a contract in January but is still yet to sign a new deal, with his current one running out next summer.

Real Madrid are said to be keen and will look to get him for free following the expiration of his contract, meaning the Reds will be making the same mistake they made with Trent Alexander-Arnold.

As of now, everyone is quite unsure about who will stay and who will go, but Gomez might be forced to stay around a little while longer until it is decided.
