As first reported by the Daily Briefing, Liverpool are looking increasingly likely to sign Gomez this summer, with the England international expected to have several big-name suitors.
Gomez has one year left on his contract at the end of this season, making this the perfect time for everyone involved to go their separate ways.
While some Liverpool fans may be nervous about letting go of this handy team player, it may be time to make some changes to Arne Slott’s backline.
A well-informed source has provided insight into why Liverpool appear ready to let Gomez go as they prepare to reorganize their defensive options this summer.
“Liverpool are keen to rebuild their backline with young specialists,” one source told me. “Gomez is no longer considered essential, but rather a valuable asset on the market. His contract expires in 2027, so the summer of 2026 is seen as the club’s last big opportunity to secure a significant transfer fee.”
Gomez has been content with his role as an international player at Liverpool over the past few years, but he now appears open to new challenges.
And despite not actually being an automatic starter for the Reds, there was plenty of praise for Gomez throughout the game, with some big names monitoring his situation.
