Aston Villa, Everton, and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing 28-year-old English defender Joe Gomez from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Empire of the Kop, Aston Villa, Everton, and Newcastle United are among the prospective suitors vying for Joe Gomez heading into the summer transfer window. Liverpool will entertain bids to part ways with the English international in the coming weeks, and the newly crowned Premier League champions will demand €30 million to sell him.
Joe Gomez has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Liverpool from Charlton Athletic in July 2015. A native of London, the Englishman spent his formative years in his homeland, passing through the academies at Marvels Lane, Lewisham Youth Green, and Ten-Em-Bee before graduating from the youth division at Charlton Athletic.
The 28-year-old has been reliable at the back for Liverpool but has not been a dependable asset for the Merseyside club due to his persistent fitness issues. The problems resurfaces in the 2024/25 season, with Gomez managing only 874 minutes of game time across 17 appearances in all competitions. However, the versatile defender is a hot property in the market, with Aston Villa, Everton, and Newcastle United keen on signing him.
The English defender has been on Aston Villa’s radar for a long time. The continued interest in the versatile Liverpool defender is understandable, considering Tyrone Mings is approaching the twilight of his career. In addition, Axel Disasi is returning to Chelsea after his loan spell ends. So, Aston Villa can do with a centre-back in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Everton’s interest in Joe Gomez is understandable. The Toffees are in a spot of bother over Jarrad Branthwaite’s long-term future. The young centre-back is a target for several Premier League bigwigs, forcing Everton to scour the market for a replacement.
