Serie A heavyweight AC Milan are reportedly still keen on signing Liverpool's defender Joe Gomez, as per recent reports from Italy. The 28 year old was rumoured to be heading to San Siro during the summer transfer window's final day, but the move allegedly collapsed due to Liverpool's failure to secure a replacement.

Guehi is now anticipated to fulfil his contract at Selhurst Park and become a free agent next summer, although Liverpool will undoubtedly face stiff competition from Europe's top clubs for his services. That said, if the latest reports from Italy hold any truth, Liverpool's determination to keep Gomez could be put to the test again in January.

The report suggests that talks with Gomez had been progressing positively and that the deal's collapse was not due to the player's reluctance to move. Since joining Liverpool in 2015, Gomez has racked up just under 250 appearances across all competitions.
