Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is reportedly considering leaving the club following recent developments surrounding his role and potential transfer. According to HITC, Gomez has expressed dissatisfaction after being included in a proposed deal to transfer Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United to Liverpool.
The potential transfer of Gordon has sparked speculation, with Liverpool keen on acquiring the Newcastle winger during the current transfer window. However, the completion of this deal remains uncertain, leaving Gomez’s future at Liverpool in a state of flux. The defender, who has been with Liverpool since his transfer from Charlton Athletic in 2015, is now reassessing his position within the team.
Gomez, a versatile and reliable defender, has drawn interest from several clubs amid the ongoing uncertainty. West Ham United and Crystal Palace are both reported to be keen on acquiring the 27-year-old. West Ham, having faced defensive challenges last season, could benefit significantly from Gomez’s experience and stability in their backline. His addition could be pivotal in strengthening their defense and enhancing their prospects for European competition in the upcoming season.
Similarly, Crystal Palace is considering Gomez as a potential replacement for Marc Guehi, who might be leaving the club. Given the possibility of Guehi’s departure, Gomez’s acquisition could address the potential gap in the defensive lineup, providing both immediate reinforcement and long-term stability.
As Gomez deliberates his future, the central question remains whether Liverpool will agree to let him leave. The outcome of the situation will likely depend on the progress of Liverpool’s negotiations for Anthony Gordon and the club’s stance on Gomez’s potential departure.
