Liverpool transfer news
Joe Gomez breaks the silence on his Liverpool future
Liverpool transfer news took a massive turn on Tuesday after Joe Gomez admitted he’s unsure if he’ll actually be at Anfield next season. Chatting with the media, including the Independent, the 28-year-old was surprisingly open about his contract situation. Since joining from Charlton back in 2015, Gomez has become a fixture at the club, but with his deal set to expire in 2027, he hits that final year mark once this season ends.
“I think anything can happen. I don’t know is the honest answer,” Gomez admitted. “I’ve only got a year left so I don’t know, but whatever is meant to be will be, I guess. I’m just grateful to have had this time here. I’ll always be thankful for 11 years at a place like this, and we’ll just see what happens.”
These comments are a big deal because AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Crystal Palace, and Brighton are all seriously interested in a summer move. It’s a familiar story, too; AC Milan offered £13 million for him last summer, but that move fell through at the last minute when Liverpool couldn’t secure Marc Guehi on deadline day.

Liverpool Transfer News: Do the Reds actually benefit from keeping Gomez for another season?
Looking at the situation, there is a stronger argument for selling Gomez this summer than for holding onto him. He only managed six Premier League starts this term, clearly sitting behind Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate in the pecking order, even though he featured 31 times across all competitions. While his stats are still top-tier, ranking in the 88th percentile for interceptions and 81st for clearances, Liverpool seem to be moving in a different direction.

With the arrival of younger specialists like Giovanni Leoni and Jeremy Jacquet, the squad is getting a facelift. This summer is basically Liverpool’s last chance to get a reasonable price for him before his value drops as he nears the end of his contract. CaughtOffside suggests the club want somewhere around £45 million. Letting a player of his calibre walk for free in 2027 would be a tough pill to swallow for the front office, especially considering how much his homegrown status matters for the squad list.
Strengths, weaknesses and what the stats reveal
The fact that Gomez can cover centre-back or either full-back spot makes him a massive asset for any team looking to buy. He hasn’t given away a single penalty this season, and his reading of the game remains as sharp as ever. Of course, the big what-if with Gomez has always been his luck with injuries; those two ACL tears earlier in his career definitely took a toll.
During the 2025/26 season, Liverpool let in a goal every 66 minutes while he was out there, a solid enough stat, but not exactly world-beating. Now that he’s hitting his peak at 28, he needs to be playing every week. Expect Liverpool transfer news to be dominated by his potential exit over the coming months, with AC Milan and Crystal Palace currently leading the chase to sign him.
