AC Milan made progress to sign Liverpool’s Joe Gomez in the summer. However, that progress wasn’t quite enough to get a deal done.
The transfer didn’t go through as the Reds failed to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. That proved frustrating for the Rossoneri and they want to make sure that any winter effort isn’t killed towards the deadline.
Corriere dello Sport report Milan don’t want to waste time over a move in January, so would start their effort when the window opens.
According to the Italian newspaper, talks with the 28-year-old’s camp were going very well. That aspect of a deal wasn’t an issue.
Gomez hasn’t left the thoughts of Milan sporting director Igli Tare, subsequently Corriere dello Sport report ‘an attack is on the way’.
Joe Gomez
Corriere dello Sport report on AC Milan wanting Liverpool defender
Joe Gomez has had less than 50 minutes of action in the Premier League so far this season. He’s picked up 15 minutes in the Champions League, and had two EFL Cup appearances in addition.
Arne Slot not giving the player prominence is taken as a reason for transfer optimism. The versatile defender has a contract lasting until 2027, and there’s no indication of what AC Milan plan to offer.
That will, quite obviously, be key for Liverpool.
