Liverpool, a sensational plot falls through: Joe Gomez to Newcastle for Gordon to the Reds

The immobility of the Liverpool on the incoming market it’s just appearance. In fact the English club is working behind the scenes to ensure an even more competitive squad for the new coach, Arne Slot, and in fact there was a potential deal with Newcastle which however fell through at the last minute due to the arrival of a new striker at the court of Reds.

The indiscretion. In fact, as reported by the BBCit has emerged that Liverpool had reached an agreement with Newcastle for the 27-year-old’s move Joe Gomez to the Magpies for £45 million in parallel with the transfer of Anthony Gordon for £75m. Ultimately the deal didn’t take off, Newcastle sold Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh to Brighton over the Premier League’s sustainability and profit concerns.

And Joe Gomez never left again. Now, however, the British tabloid is keen to point out, Liverpool do not consider the English defender a reject of the squad, also because Slot’s defence is numerically quite thin and the ’97-born player can also play in several positions. Last season he played as a centre-back, right-back, left-back and central midfielder, before being selected for the English team at Euro 2024.
