The Telegraph have reported that Liverpool central defender Joe Gomez will sign a new contract in pre-season.
The report has claimed that Liverpool star Gomez has ‘plenty of Premier League interest’.
Aston Villa had earlier been reported to be keen on signing the England international, who can also operate as a right-back.
The Telegraph have reported that despite being in demand, the defender will put pen to paper on a new Liverpool contract in pre-season.
Is Joe Gomez making a mistake at Liverpool?
In our view, Liverpool defender Joe Gomez could regret his decision to stay at Anfield.
Now, of course, we know that Liverpool are a very big club who are regularly winning trophies and playing wonderful football.
However, Gomez – described as “exceptional” by Liverpool manager Klopp in The Mirror in October 2021 – would struggle for regular playing time at Anfield next season and beyond.
Virgil van Dijk is a regular in the Liverpool defence, and Ibrahima Konate did well in the final months of last season.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp also has Joel Matip at his disposal at the back.
Yes, the 25-year-old can play as a right-back, but Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the best in that position and will play when he is fit and available.
Gomez could end up being a squad player at Liverpool.
