Liverpool see the summer transfer window as the \u201clast major opportunity\u201d for them to sell Joe Gomez for a \u201csignificant\u201d fee, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Reds have been struggling with injuries in defence this season as they considered signing\u00a0Lutsharel Geertruida<\/a> \u2013 who is loan at Sunderland from RB Leipzig \u2013 ahead of the winter transfer deadline to give them options until the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n Liverpool<\/a> didn\u2019t sign Geertruida or another defender in the January market and are currently relying on Dominik Szoboszlai to play at right-back while they wait for Jeremie Frimpong to get fit.<\/p>\n Injuries to Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley have seen Liverpool another injury or two away from disaster this season and they will look to reshape their squad depth in the summer.<\/p>\n Gomez, who has had a bad time with injuries throughout his career, was out for a few games in January and the beginning of February \u2013 but is now available for selection in a big boost to Liverpool.<\/p>\n However, Caught Offside claim that<\/a> Serie A side AC Milan are \u2018leading\u2019 the race to sign Gomez in the summer and it \u2018looks increasingly likely that Liverpool could cash in on Gomez this summer.\u2019<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Big Weekend: Tottenham v Arsenal in relegation-bottlejob derby, Newcastle, Pereira, Ndiaye<\/a><\/p>\n Despite Gomez being happy as a squad player in recent years, it now seems the England international is \u2018now more open to a new challenge\u2019 away from Anfield.<\/p>\n A source told Caught Offside: \u201cLiverpool are keen to reshape their back line with younger, specialist profiles. Gomez is no longer seen as indispensable but rather as a valuable market asset. With his contract expiring in 2027, the summer of 2026 is viewed as the last major opportunity for the\u00a0club\u00a0to secure a significant transfer fee.\u201d<\/p>\n Some Liverpool supporters have been disappointed with Cody Gakpo\u2019s contribution this season after Luis Diaz left in the summer transfer window to join Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365
