Justin Setterfield/Getty Images Liverpool boss Arne Slot does not want to let defender Joe Gomez leave Anfield in the January transfer window despite AC Milan stepping up their interest. During the summer transfer window, Gomez drew attention from Italian giants AC Milan, but a move failed to materialise.

Massimiliano Allegri is keen on bringing in a centre-back and he has set his eyes on Gomez, who has one and a half years left on his contract with Liverpool. Gomez’s departure in the winter would leave Slot short of options in defence and the Dutchman does not want that with the Reds not being at their best this season.

AC Milan though could well still test Liverpool’s resolve and if Gomez indicates a strong desire to join the Rossoneri, it remains to be seen whether the Reds would reluctantly play ball. Injuries have affected Gomez throughout his career and in 2022, one former Liverpool star claimed if the defender could stay fit, he would be one of the country’s best in his position.
