Joe Gomez was close to leaving Liverpool at the end of the summer transfer window and is expected to be a target in January too, with AC Milan retaining their interest. Gomez was poised to leave Anfield amid interest from AC Milan, Brighton and Crystal Palace, only for a deal to sign Marc Guehi to fall through.

2 saw his chances of moving dashed as Palace pushed their decision over Guehi to the final hours of deadline day, with Arne Slot eager to avoid leaving his centre-back options short. AC Milan planning January bid for Joe Gomez Italian publication Corriere dello Sport – via Sport Witness – reports that “an attack is on the way” when it comes to Milan’s plans to sign the England international.

Gomez is claimed to have held positive talks with Milan before his proposed switch fell through and his continued lack of game time could motivate a mid-season exit. Any changes at the back in January would be considered a shock at this stage, but clearly Liverpool could face a tough decision if Milan push for Gomez.
