AC Milan and Bayern Munich have received a massive boost in their pursuit of Liverpool centre-back Joe Gomez.
According to a report from Caught Offside, Joe Gomez looks set to part ways with Liverpool this summer. The English centre-back is at a crossroads in his career and could make a big decision regarding his future after the end of the season. AC Milan and Bayern Munich are both keen on securing his signature, with the Serie A giants believed to be leading the race.
Gomez came up the ranks at Charlton Athletic, and on the back of an impressive season with their first team, he made the switch to Liverpool in the summer of 2015. While he has never really been a regular starter at Anfield, the 28-year-old has certainly been an integral part of their setup.
Over the years, the Englishman has featured in 260 matches, and he has played a big part in all the success they have had. He has been involved in 19 games this season. While Gomez prefers playing in the heart of the defence, he can also feature as a right-back when needed.
Gomez set to leave Liverpool?
Joe Gomez remains an important squad member, but his future has become an interesting talking point because of his contract situation. The 28-year-old will only have a year left on his deal this summer, and it looks increasingly likely that the Merseyside club will cash in on him this time around.
The Premier League champions see this as a final opportunity to raise significant funds from his departure. While Liverpool fans are unsure about letting him leave, the Reds seem set for a major overhaul at the back, with Ibrahima Konate’s future also uncertain.
European clubs want Joe Gomez
After being a part of the Liverpool team for well over a decade, Gomez also looks set for a move away from Anfield. The English international has some big-name suitors, who could hand him an important role in their team. AC Milan and Bayern Munich are the biggest clubs that are interested in his services.
Neither club has held any concrete talks, but they are certainly keen on having Joe Gomez in their squad. The Italian giants are believed to be front-runners for his signature, while Bayern Munich will only go after him if they miss out on their priority targets.
There is interest in his services from clubs in England as well. The player is looking for a salary of around £4.5 million per year, and it will be interesting to see which club is willing to meet those demands.
