Joe Gomez has been mentioned in multiple reports as Liverpool’s interest in Anthony Gordon intensifies. However, The Times reports that the 27-year-old defender is keen to stay at Anfield. Earlier in the summer, Newcastle was reportedly willing to offer £45 million ($58m) for Gomez.

Arne Slot has held discussions with Liverpool’s longest-serving player about the upcoming season, and Gomez is determined to earn his spot under the new head coach. Gomez has not engaged in talks with Newcastle about a potential transfer and appears set to remain on Merseyside, ruling out a swap deal involving Gordon.

No current first-team player has been at Liverpool longer than Gomez. The England international, who joined from Charlton in 2015, has been at Anfield for nine years, outlasting both Jurgen Klopp and Joel Matip.

Pre-season preparations continue under Slot, with Liverpool recently defeating Premier League rivals Manchester United 3-0 during their US tour. Gomez has now joined the team after a late holiday following his participation in Euro 2024 and is working to get back up to speed alongside teammates like Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo.
