Alious£30m Exit on the Cards: Liverpool Defender Joe Gomez Targeted by Sunderland, Newcastle, and Five Other Premier League Clubs
Liverpool could be prepared to part ways with Joe Gomez this summer, as The Guardian confirms the £30 million-rated defender is attracting serious interest from multiple Premier League clubs – with Sunderland and Newcastle among the front-runners.
Following Sunderland’s promotion to the top flight, the Black Cats are eager to reinforce their backline. Their reported pursuit of defensive reinforcements has already seen them linked with names like Duje Caleta-Car from Lyon and Celtic’s Cameron Carter-Vickers.
However, the biggest development now concerns Liverpool’s Joe Gomez, a seasoned England international.
According to The Guardian, Liverpool would entertain offers for Gomez during this transfer window, and Sunderland and Newcastle have both made inquiries.
The Merseyside club’s openness to a deal signals a potential summer shake-up, particularly in defense, where a “backline refresh” is reportedly planned.
Multiple Clubs in the Race
The Guardian also names Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham United, Leeds United, and Burnley as other interested clubs, suggesting a competitive market for the 28-year-old centre-back. These clubs are said to have already approached Liverpool about his availability, underscoring Gomez’s continued value within the league.
While earlier reports from *Empire of the Kop* claimed Liverpool would accept €30m (approximately £25m), The Guardian has now clarified that the asking price stands closer to **£30 million**, creating some discrepancy between sources. Regardless of the final valuation, there appears to be real traction behind Gomez’s potential departure.
Liverpool’s Defensive Reset
Further backing these claims, *Anfield Index* has confirmed that Liverpool are expected to overhaul their defensive setup this summer. That strategic shift could prompt players like Gomez to consider a move elsewhere in pursuit of regular playing time—especially with competition for places under Arne Slot expected to intensify.
Where Could Gomez Land?
While no club has emerged as a clear favourite yet, the fact that newly promoted Sunderland are mentioned alongside established Premier League sides like Newcastle, Villa, and West Ham indicates that Gomez will have multiple strong options. Whether he opts for the stability of a top-eight side or becomes a leader in Sunderland’s Premier League return remains to be seen.
What’s clear is that Joe Gomez’s future at Anfield is far from guaranteed – and the battle for his signature could shape the summer transfer window for several English clubs.
