Romano: Milan send ‘official bid’ to Liverpool for Gomez – the situation

AC Milan, in the past few minutes, have sent an official bid to Liverpool for Joe Gomez, according to recent reports.

There has been a need to act quickly this week with the mercato ending. Several ideas have been explored, and in defence, this has been shown again. In last weekend’s summit, Massimiliano Allegri and Igli Tare agreed that a new defender was needed.

A few names have been mentioned, but as we entered the weekend, it seemed that Manuel Akanji could be the one to arrive, after Manchester City accepted a bid for the Swiss defender. However, he rejected a move last night.

Moving quickly

Since then, contacts and ideas have been flying, though the Rossoneri had a preference for Liverpool’s Joe Gomez. Now, Fabrizio Romano reports that ‘an official bid’ has been sent to the Merseyside club.

The deal, as the journalist states, would be a permanent one with terms being discussed currently. There is a caveat, though. Things will be reliant on Liverpool’s own defensive ideas, where Marc Guehi is the favoured option.

Reports from England suggest that things are progressing with that move, which the Diavolo will hope continues. Gomez is not the only idea, but he is the favoured choice, so it remains to be seen what emerges from this latest round of talks.
