Liverpool defender Joe Gomez continues to draw interest from two Premier League clubs, despite no significant progress being made on a potential move, leaving the possibility open that he could remain at Anfield.
According to Fabrizio Romano, speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside in his latest Daily Briefing column, Crystal Palace and Fulham are still potential destinations for the England international.
Gomez has been a reliable squad player for Liverpool over the years, but it remains unclear whether he is now seeking a new challenge to secure more regular playing time.
Both Palace and Fulham could benefit from signing Gomez, offering him the opportunity for consistent first-team football at mid-table clubs.
The next few days will be crucial in determining his future.
However, Liverpool may hesitate to let Gomez leave, as his departure would reduce their defensive depth behind the experienced Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.
“Staying with Liverpool, there is still no update so far on the future of Joe Gomez,” Romano said.
“Interest from many clubs like Crystal Palace, Fulham and more remains, but there is nothing concrete yet on club-to-club talks or with an official bid.
It remains one to watch but Gomez could also end up staying at Liverpool.
Elsewhere, Federico Chiesa and Liverpool are close to reaching an agreement as the Reds look to bolster their attacking options.
Liverpool have admired the player for several years and are keen to take advantage of the opportunity.
Fabrizio Romano posted on X: “The agreement between Federico Chiesa and Liverpool on personal terms is almost done!
“Final details being sorted today. Four year contract ready after initial talks exclusively revealed on Monday.
“Juventus and Liverpool in direct talks to reach an agreement on fee.”
