Liverpool star draws Serie A interest ahead of January window image

Liverpool came into the new Premier League campaign with concerns in defense as their attempt to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace collapsed on deadline day when Palace failed to secure a replacement.

The setback left Arne Slot relying heavily on Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as his two established starters throughout the opening fixtures.

Slot is limited to Joe Gomez and Rhys Williams as senior backups while Wataru Endo remains more of an emergency choice.

But Gomez immediate future at the Anfield has come under the scrutiny with Italian giants considering to make move for the Liverpool defender.

AC Milan reignites interest in Joe Gomez

According to Calciomercato, AC Milan have reignited their pursuit after seeing a move fall apart in the final days of the summer window when Liverpool refused to sanction the transfer without securing defensive reinforcements.

Milan’s new focus on a three man back line under Massimiliano Allegri makes Gomez a fitting target to join Tomori Pavlovic, De Winter Gabbia and Bartesaghi as they prepare for the demands of Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

Joe Gomez has experienced a frustrating start to the season with only 29 minutes played across two Premier League appearances

According to the report, AC Milan are likely to comeback in January, “capitalizing on the Merseyside club's poor use of the 1997-born defender”.
