AC Milan are preparing a €7 million bid for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez in the upcoming January transfer window. The Serie A club is eager to strengthen their central defense following an unsuccessful attempt to sign Manuel Akanji over the summer, mainly due to the latter's high wage demands.

After missing out on Akanji, AC Milan focused on Gomez but could not finalize a deal during the recent transfer window. Despite signing David Odogu from VfL Wolfsburg, Milan remains in the market for a central defender, with Gomez as their primary target.

Joe Gomez, who has been with Liverpool since 2015, has had a mixed role, occasionally playing but not always a first-choice starter. Under Liverpool manager Arne Slot, his appearances have decreased, pushing him down the pecking order. This situation has fueled speculation about his future and the player’s interest in moving to a club where he can secure more regular playing time.

Though his contract with Liverpool runs until 2027, the club was previously open to letting Gomez leave in the summer. A late deal with AC Milan was nearly completed then, but Liverpool ultimately withdrew, keeping Gomez on their roster for now.

AC Milan is now set to return with a concrete €7 million offer in January, hoping to convince Liverpool to sanction the defender’s transfer and give Gomez the chance for increased playing time with the Italian giants.
