Liverpool are considering the sale of Joe Gomez. We all know that Liverpool had a boring transfer window because they didn’t buy any players for the upcoming season. After a decade, this is happening in the history of Liverpool. On top of that, they are selling first-team players.
Joe Gomez was a consistent player for Liverpool. He was a true revelation under Jurgen Klopp. From winning the English Premier League to becoming a Champions League winner, it was never an easy journey for the English defender. In the last few seasons, he lost his place with the first team because Liverpool bought Ibrahima Konate.
After the appointment of Arne Slot, everything became clear for Joe Gomez. It seems that the English defender doesn’t fit into Slot’s playing system. Yesterday, Liverpool played the first game of the Premier League 2024-2025. Joe Gomez was not included in that team.
Arne Slot has relied on defenders like Virgil Van Dijk, Jarell Quansah, and Ibrahima Konate. All of them performed well against newly promoted side Ipswitch Town. Several reports are claiming that Liverpool have agreed to sell Joe Gomez to Aston Villa.
After the departure of Joel Matip, another experienced Liverpool defender is leaving the club.
What happened with Liverpool defender Joe Gomez?
According to The Times, Aston Villa are considering the sale of their Brazilian defender, Diego Carlos, and they want someone who can replace him. Unai Emery has identified Joe Gomez as the perfect replacement for Diego Carlos. Fulham, NewCastle United, and Crystal Palace are also interested in the player.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery believes that the pairing of Tyrone Mings and Joe Gomez can help them perform well in all competitions. Last season, Aston Villa finished in the top four spots. So, they will be playing in the in the UEFA Champions League. So, they need a strong team.
Multiple reports are suggesting that Liverpool will accept a transfer fee of around £40m for Joe Gomez. The Aston Villa hierarchy knows that the English defender will be a valuable addition to their squad, which is why they are paying such a hefty transfer fee.
There is another twist in this story: Liverpool want to raise money to buy players like Anthony Gordon and Juventus defender Gleison Bremer. So, they are considering the sale of Joe Gomez.
Expectations for the upcoming season
We all know that Liverpool will perform well without Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, but the question is: can they maintain consistency throughout the season? For winning the Premier League, consistency is the main thing, which is very difficult to maintain in the English Premier League.
There are a few things that Arne Slot needs to do at Liverpool. His first and foremost criteria will be to improve the defensive ability of Trent Alexander Arnold. Secondly, they have some rising talents in their squad. They need proper training and guidance. These things will certainly improve their overall performance.
The midfield of Liverpool can score more goals from the combination of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Sbozobolai. That is why Arne Slot has to unlock this midfield partnership.
Last season, Darwin Nunez struggled to score goals in the Premier League. The new manager must look into this matter.
When reporters asked the new Arne Slot about the team, he said that the players are very energetic and well trained in all aspects, such as pressing, counter-pressing, and all the other things. Previously, Jurgen Klopp praised the lads to the new Liverpool manager.
Jurgen Klopp has trained every player with a lot of care and precision. Young players like Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliot, and Kelleher are the true revelations of his era at Anfield. Arne Slot has a group of talented players. All he needs to do is utilizing all the players in the correct positions.
