Joe Gomez Could Leave Liverpool After Manager Decision
- Joe Gomez, Liverpool's longest-serving player, may leave the club after a managerial decision.
- Questions surrounding Joe Gomez's first-team status at Liverpool could lead to his summer exit.
- Speculation arises as England international defender Joe Gomez hints at a potential move away from Liverpool.
Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has been omitted from the squad for the team's season opener against Ipswich Town as he evaluates his options this summer. The centre-back has seen his position within the club diminish, prompting him to consider his future at Anfield. Gomez, who did not participate in Liverpool's pre-season tour to the United States due to his involvement with the England national team at the Euros, did not see any playing time during the tournament. With a new manager set to take charge and Lee Carsley currently in a temporary role, Gomez is keen on securing regular first-team football to enhance his chances of being selected for international duty. He believes that consistent play could elevate his standing within the national team, especially given the changes in management. However, Liverpool would require a substantial fee to part ways with Gomez, who is under contract for another three years. As Liverpool prepares for their match against Ipswich, the latter has integrated several new signings into their starting lineup. Ahead of the game, Ipswich manager Slot acknowledged the significant changes in Liverpool's midfield, particularly in the number six role, emphasizing the need for development in that position. He noted Gomez's capabilities, highlighting his comfort with the ball and stamina, which could benefit the team's tactical setup.
