Joe Gomez was close to leaving Liverpool on deadline day only for the deal to sign Marc Guehi to fall through – but the No. According to Corriere dello Sport, Milan still harbour hopes of signing the Englishman in January, though their pursuit depends on Arne Slot‘s plans.

Liverpool will be without Giovanni Leoni for the rest of the season which means Slot’s only specialist senior centre-backs are Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate. And unless a new centre-back is signed in January it seems unlikely Liverpool would consider a move for their longest-serving player.

Still Milan could test their and Gomez’s resolve, with the defender clearly having been open to a departure before the window closed. Liverpool’s centre-back plans Gomez had also considered a move to Newcastle on the eve of Slot’s first campaign in charge, with it evident that he is no longer considered a first-choice starter.
