Overview
- Joe Gomez said his future is uncertain and he has one year left on his Liverpool deal after 11 seasons at the club.
- Reports link AC Milan and Besiktas with the defender, with Crystal Palace also cited as monitoring him, and no formal bids have been reported.
- Gomez’s minutes have dipped through injuries, with six league starts but 31 appearances overall, yet he still covers center back, both full-backs and occasional midfield.
- Liverpool’s depth is under strain with Andy Robertson set to leave, Conor Bradley injured, and young defenders Jeremy Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni returning from surgery as Ibrahima Konate’s contract remains unresolved.
- Analysis pieces argue Liverpool should keep Gomez because any summer fee may be in the low tens of millions and the squad could lose valuable leadership and flexibility.
