AC Milan is preparing to renew their pursuit of Liverpool defender Joe Gomez in the upcoming January transfer window as part of their strategy to bolster their defensive options. The Rossoneri, under Massimiliano Allegri, prioritize strengthening their backline to support their three-man defense formation amid the demands of Serie A and Coppa Italia competitions.

Gomez was close to joining Milan in the final days of the recent transfer window, but the move fell through as Liverpool failed to secure a suitable replacement before the deadline. Reports now indicate Milan's readiness to capitalize on Liverpool’s underutilization of the 1997-born English defender and make a second attempt to sign him.

The Milan defense currently features players such as Matteo Gabbia, Marko Pavlovic, Fikayo Tomori, Thomas De Winter, and possibly Lorenzo Bartesaghi, but the club seeks more depth and reliability in that area. The club’s ambition to improve defensive security aligns with Allegri’s tactical setup and the increased fixture load during the season.

Overall, AC Milan's interest in Joe Gomez remains strong, and they are positioning themselves for a January push to secure the Liverpool defender to enhance their squad's defensive robustness.
