Liverpool are reportedly open to selling Joe Gomez during the final days of the summer transfer window, setting a price tag that could entice several clubs.
The 27-year-old defender, who was left out of Arne Slot’s squad for the 2-0 victory over Ipswich, is facing an uncertain future at Anfield. According to reports from CaughtOffside, Liverpool may consider offers between €35m and €40m (£30m-£35m) for the England international, with Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Fulham among the interested Premier League clubs. Additionally, there could be interest from teams in Saudi Arabia.

Despite these rumors, no formal bids have been submitted for Gomez, and it remains unclear whether he would prefer to stay in the Premier League or explore opportunities abroad. The situation is particularly surprising given previous reports that Liverpool had agreed on a £45m deal with Newcastle earlier in the summer, which ultimately fell through.
Letting Gomez go, especially to a direct Premier League rival, could be seen as a risky move by Liverpool. Gomez’s versatility, having effectively covered various defensive positions, makes him a valuable asset.
With the club’s current defensive depth, losing someone of Gomez’s experience without securing a replacement could leave the squad vulnerable, making the decision to sell him all the more perplexing.
