Joe Gomez Tops Al Ittihad’s Wishlist as Liverpool’s Transfer Standpoint Disclosed by Fabrizio Romano

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has become a focal point of interest for Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad, as confirmed by renowned football insider Fabrizio Romano.

In a challenging transfer window for Liverpool, manager Jurgen Klopp has already bid farewell to key midfielders Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, both making moves to the Middle East. These departures have left a significant void in Liverpool’s midfield.

Furthermore, Al Ittihad’s ambitions seem to know no bounds, with reports suggesting that they are preparing an astonishing £129 million offer in their pursuit of Liverpool’s star player, Mohamed Salah.

In response to these departures and potential threats, Liverpool has acted swiftly in the transfer market. The club has secured the services of three midfield talents – Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo – in deals totaling approximately £115 million. Klopp’s objective is clear: he aims to bolster the squad to challenge for a higher position in the league following last season’s disappointing fifth-place finish.

Despite Liverpool’s efforts to rebuild and retain their key assets, there is concerning news regarding Joe Gomez. Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Gomez could be the latest Liverpool player to make the move to Al Ittihad, a notion supported by the club’s admiration for his ‘versatility’ in playing across the defensive line.

Romano shared his insights on the matter via Twitter, stating, “Al Ittihad have a shortlist of defenders — Liverpool’s Joe Gomez is very high on that list… Al Ittihad like Gomez as a versatile player who can play anywhere across the back line.”

However, Liverpool appears resolute in their stance, as Romano confirmed, “Liverpool insist they’ve no intention to sell important players in the final days.”

Gomez’s recent contribution to Liverpool’s performance has been vital, especially in the recent 2-1 comeback against Newcastle. Klopp commended Gomez’s performance, stating, “Joey [Gomez] didn’t play for a while, but he came on and did well. We settled and played better afterwards.”

Echoing Klopp’s sentiments, Andy Robertson praised Gomez for his calming influence during a challenging moment in the match, noting, “I thought Joey was absolutely outstanding. I thought he came on in a difficult moment… Joey calmed us down.”
