Liverpool star has an offer on the table from Aston Villa: Reports
Liverpool star Joe Gomez has recently found it difficult to break into the starting eleven and play for the Reds. Now, according to recent reports from Birmingham Live, Gomez and Liverpool may have found a solution to this conundrum. Aston Villa could come in with a bid for the 24-year old in the upcoming winter transfer window.
During last summer's transfer window, Liverpool bought Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig for a fee believed to be Β£36 million. Fans expected Joe Gomez to be the third-choice centre-back even after the signing of Konate. This assumption was due to Gomez's performances during the 2019-20 season, where he made 28 Premier League appearances for the Reds.
π @Cmdotcom: Liverpool have received an official offer for Joe Gomez coming from Aston Villa ahead of the January transfer window.
Unfortunately, he suffered an injury which sidelined him for the better part of the 2020-21 season. Since his return in June 2021, Gomez has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield. The 24-year old has only made three Premier League appearances this season.
Liverpool legend and current Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard could tempt Gomez by promising him more game time under his guidance. If Aston Villa's interest is genuine, a deal could be made using the great bond that Gerrard has with his former club.
