As we enter into the final few weeks of the transfer window, a number of Liverpool players have question marks over their futures.

The Reds have so far kept the group together following the end of the season. No player has yet been sold.

With Arne Slot keen to run the rule over everyone possible before taking any action, perhaps that is not a surprise.

Having been able take the temperature of most of the Liverpool squad by now, though, the feeling is that a handful of players could still leave.

As Liverpool plan to accelerate in the transfer market, it could be that any potential signings are offset by one or two heading out the Anfield exit door.

Joe Gomez disappointed at failed move

Liverpool still have one game to play during their tour of the USA, with a big clash against Manchester United taking place on Sunday morning.

Once they return to England, though, it looks likely that FSG are really going to ramp up the transfer activity.

Part of that looks set to be players being sold. Rumours persist that Luis Diaz could leave Liverpool, while Ryan Gravenberch is attracting interest from Turkey.

One player who perhaps was not expected to go this summer was Joe Gomez. However, surprising reports over the past few days have claimed that Liverpool agreed a £45m fee with Newcastle to sell Gomez.

The defender was reportedly open to leaving the Reds after failing to establish himself as a starter in recent years.

But after Newcastle pulled the plug on the deal – which involved Anthony Gordon going the other way – journalist Graeme Bailey says that Gomez has been left disappointed and could still push to leave.

“Joe Gomez is interesting, I think we could see him go,” Bailey tells Rousing The Kop. “I do understand that he was a bit perturbed by what happened with Newcastle.

“But it’s all very well player’s wanting to go and being willing to get them out, having a landing spot for them is the difficulty and Joe Gomez isn’t going to be a hugely cheap option for anyone.”

Will Joe Gomez leave Liverpool?

For now, it looks like Newcastle’s interest in Gomez is over. Liverpool would still like to sign Gordon, but it’s unlikely that any deal would now involve the 27-year-old heading to St James’ Park.

Eddie Howe’s side are reportedly in talks with Gomez’s England teammate Marc Guehi, which would suggest they’ve moved on from Liverpool’s No.2.

Nevertheless, by negotiating with Newcastle, the Reds have indicated that Gomez is available at the right price.

With the former Charlton youngster clearly interested in a new challenge, that could be the right ingredients for a move to happen.

So far, there is nothing concrete to suggest that another club is ready to pay Liverpool’s asking-price. But until the deadline passes, Gomez seems set to be one to watch.
