Liverpool defender Joe Gomez could be on his way out of Anfield even though a swap deal to Newcastle United fell through, according to reports.
The Reds are looking for a new winger as new sporting director Richard Hughes looks to give Arne Slot the tools to be successful in his first year as Liverpool head coach after replacing Jurgen Klopp.
Widespread reports claimed that Liverpool attempted to do a deal for Anthony Gordon before the end of June as Newcastle attempted to sell some players to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.
There were claims that interest from Liverpool left Gordon’s ‘head in a mess‘ and that a .
And Football Insider claim that Gomez was offered as part of a deal to take Gordon from Newcastle to Liverpool before the deal fell through recently.
But the report adds that England international Gomez may quit Liverpool still after finding himself dispensable by the Reds.
:
Liverpool are nonetheless still monitoring the England winger’s situation and are still keen on pursuing a deal in the final month of the window.
Sources have told Football Insider that Liverpool would also still be willing to sell Gomez at the right price heading into the next four weeks.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool s interest in Newcastle winger Gordon remains strong in the final month of the transfer window.
: Something more, guys, because I already told you two or three days ago that the appreciation of Liverpool for Anthony Gordon remains strong.
As of today, there is still no bid from Liverpool to Newcastle, so we can t talk about the negotiation and we can t confirm the situation now.
What I can confirm, once again, is the appreciation of the player internally at Liverpool.
In several meetings that the club have had, the name of Anthony Gordon has been discussed, and he’s really highly rated. Liverpool believe he’s a top, top player.
Let s see if Liverpool will reactivate this option in terms of talks with Newcastle, and let s see what Newcastle want to do, because he s a crucial player for them.
Now that the issue of Financial Fair Play is no longer there, there’s no pressure on the Magpies to sell.
