Liverpool might entertain offers for Joe Gomez if his suitors cough up around £40-45 million to sign him, with Aston Villa and Newcastle United interested in him.
According to a report by Football Insider, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are interested in signing Joe Gomez from Liverpool in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Reds are open to cashing in on the 27-year-old utility man, setting a price tag of around £40-45 million to part ways with him.
Joe Gomez and his Liverpool journey so far
Joe Gomez has been a dependable performer for Liverpool since arriving from Charlton Athletic in July 2015. While the Englishman has struggled with fitness issues throughout his stint with the Merseyside outfit, he has been reliable at the back whenever he has been fit enough to take the field.
The 27-year-old has been an asset for Liverpool due to his versatility, as he can play across the backline. Gomez has turned out 224 times thus far for Liverpool while chipping in with nine assists. However, the experienced defender faces an uncertain future at the Merseyside club due to his status as a backup player.
The England international does not have a shortage of interested clubs vying for his signature in the summer transfer window, with Aston Villa and Newcastle United among his prospective suitors. Meanwhile, Liverpool might sanction Joe Gomez’s sale if they receive around £40-45 million for him.
Move across Premier League on the cards?
Aston Villa’s interest in Joe Gomez is understandable. The West Midlands club did not complete a permanent move for Clement Lenglet, while Diego Carlos faces an uncertain future at Villa Park. So, the Liverpool utility man has emerged as a viable target for Aston Villa.
As for Newcastle United, Lloyd Kelly has already bolstered the backline after completing his Bosman move. However, the Magpies are keen on signing another centre-back as Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are long-term absentees due to their respective knee injuries. So, Gomez is an option worth considering for Newcastle United.
It is unclear if Aston Villa and Newcastle United are ready to cough up £40-45 million to secure Joe Gomez’s services in the summer transfer window. However, recent reports have claimed that the 27-year-old Englishman does not want to leave Liverpool anytime soon.
