Liverpool Eye Final Summer to Cash In on Joe Gomez, With AC Milan Leading Race

Liverpool are weighing a summer sale to pivot toward younger specialist defenders under Arne Slot.

Overview

  • Reports say club figures view summer 2026 as the last major window to secure a significant fee before Gomez’s 2027 contract expiry.
  • AC Milan are described as frontrunners for the 28-year-old, with Bayern Munich monitoring and West Ham and Brighton also linked.
  • Outlets report there have been no concrete negotiations so far despite growing external interest in the defender.
  • Gomez’s injury record and a reported wage expectation of about £4.5 million per year are seen as key hurdles for potential buyers.
  • Selling a versatile option who covers center and full back would test Liverpool’s defensive depth, and links to targets such as Lutsharel Geertruida have featured in summer planning chatter.
