After the Saudi Arabian league has been keeping an eye on Mohamed Salah's desire to stay with the Reds for a couple of more seasons, institutions such as Al-Ettifaq will try another type of negotiations with this Premier League club, with coach Steven Gerrard interested in one of the great defenders who has shone for his versatility in recent months.

Although Steven Gerrard's team's initial idea was to sign Joel Matip, his injury and recovery made this transaction complicated, but it seems that the former Reds player has found in Joe Gomez his ideal man to solve all the problems that keep them very low in the Saudi Pro-League.

A few months ago this idea that Joe Gomez could be sold did not seem crazy or irreverent, but this player so far in the 2023-2024 campaign has surprisingly increased his level of play to the point of being a fundamental piece of Jurgen Klopp every time there is an emergency, and is that Gomez has sworn in throughout the sporting year in positions such as central defense or either of the two bands, giving in all areas great results that have helped the group to maintain those great streaks without defeats.

The great versatility that Gomez has today could not so easily be let go by Klopp at this moment in which only the defensive center has its figures in full performance, Joe being a great asset that would not be sold unless a suitable replacement is found, no matter the millions that the Saudi club can put on the table as the Reds at this moment do not need a bigger economy to invest during this transfer market.

Henderson's failure discourages Liverpool players

Joe Gomez is probably aware that his best option at the moment is to continue being that versatile piece for Klopp that covers the transcendental losses in defense, not being convenient to emigrate to a soccer in full development that deposits all the responsibilities to the figures that are hired, passing this fact bill to Jordan Henderson who will most likely be low to Al Ettifaq, as well as Roberto Firmino who is about to leave Al-Hilal after not being the scorer he was in the Reds.
