Serie A giants AC Milan have not given up hope of signing Liverpool<\/a> defender Joe Gomez<\/a>, according to the latest reports from Italy. The 28-year-old was tipped to make the move to San Siro on deadline day of the summer transfer window, but the deal reportedly fell through due to Liverpool\u2019s inability to secure a replacement.<\/p>\n The Reds had been heavily linked with Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi<\/a>, and a \u00a335m move was believed to be on the verge of completion<\/a> before the London club pulled the plug<\/a> in the final hours of the window.<\/p>\n Guehi is now expected to see out his contract at Selhurst Park and become a free agent next summer, although Liverpool will no doubt face fierce competition for his signature from Europe\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Real Madrid ‘might be interested’ in Liverpool transfer for Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a>READ MORE: Liverpool winger sends transfer reminder after marathon 24-penalty shoot-out<\/a><\/p>\n Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are among the clubs to have been linked with the England defender ahead of his expected free agency.<\/p>\n Liverpool did strengthen their defensive ranks with the signing of teenage centre-back Giovanni Leoni<\/a> from Parma.<\/p>\n However, after the 18-year-old suffered an ACL injury on his debut for the Reds against Southampton in the Carabao Cup in September, keeping hold of Gomez has proved a masterstroke, with Ibrahima Konate<\/a> and Virgil van Dijk<\/a> the only other fit senior central defenders at the club.<\/p>\n That said, if the latest reports from Italy are to be believed, Liverpool\u2019s resolve over Gomez will once again be tested in January.<\/p>\n Corriere dello Sport<\/a> claim that Milan will not waste any time this time around and intend to move swiftly when the transfer window reopens.<\/p>\n The report adds that discussions with Gomez had progressed well and that it was not the player\u2019s desire to move which caused the deal to collapse.<\/p>\n Sporting director Igli Tare is said to still have the Reds\u2019 current longest-serving player firmly in his sights, with an \u201cattack\u201d on the way, as the outlet describes.<\/p>\n Gomez has made just seven appearances across all competitions so far this season, totalling 238 minutes.<\/p>\n His lack of first-team action was a key factor behind the summer transfer speculation, so it remains to be seen whether continued limited opportunities under Arne Slot<\/a> could once again prompt the defender to consider a move away.<\/p>\n Having signed for Liverpool in 2015, Gomez has made just shy of 250 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n![\"Liverpool](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/0_GettyImages-2245870341.jpg\")
