AC Milan have submitted a bid to sign Liverpool defender Joe Gomez, with the Italian club seeking to bolster their defensive options before the summer transfer window closes. Gomez, a versatile English international capable of playing across the backline, has seen limited game time early in the 2025/26 season, totaling only 18 minutes so far. Milan’s interest in Gomez is linked with Liverpool’s pursuit of Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi; the deal for Gomez is likely contingent on Liverpool securing Guehi as a replacement.

Gomez’s future at Liverpool is uncertain, according to Liverpool insider Lewis Steel, who indicated that while the club values Gomez's versatility and leadership, they remain hesitant to let him go unless Guehi arrives. This creates a complex transfer situation involving multiple moving parts ahead of the deadline. Gomez’s fitness issues have occasionally hampered his consistency since joining Liverpool in 2015, but he remains a valuable squad member.

Negotiations between AC Milan and Liverpool have yet to reach a financial agreement. Milan has also been exploring other defensive targets as they prepare for departures, such as Alex Jimenez moving to Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Milan are simultaneously trying to finalize deals for midfielder Adrien Rabiot and a new centre-forward, making the closing days of the window busy for the club.

Gomez is reportedly open to a move to Milan, but terms need to be agreed upon between all parties. Liverpool’s interest in Guehi could play a crucial role in determining whether Gomez’s transfer proceeds. Crystal Palace is also eyeing a deal for Gomez on loan as part of the potential Guehi transfer to Liverpool, adding further complexity to talks.
