‘Excellent servant’ – Liverpool stalwart tipped for summer exit

That wording is telling, especially the suggestion that the 28-year-old could finally move on after nearly a decade at the club, having joined from Charlton back in 2015.

Liverpool’s rebuild could force tough decisions

This isn’t happening in isolation either, because the same report also highlighted how Alexis Mac Allister could be considered for a sale to fund the next phase of the rebuild, underlining just how significant this summer could be.

Arne Slot himself has already hinted at the financial reality we are operating under, admitting after the PSG defeat: “We have to sell to buy… It is a big challenge in the summer but the club has shown this model works.”

That context makes Gomez’s situation more understandable, even if it’s a difficult one for supporters to accept given his loyalty, versatility and role in multiple trophy-winning sides.

The defender remains Liverpool’s longest-serving player and, when fit, has consistently shown his value across the backline, but injuries have disrupted his rhythm over the years and may influence any decision made.

For us, it feels like a crossroads moment, because while a move could help reshape the squad financially, replacing someone with Gomez’s experience, adaptability and connection to the club won’t be straightforward at all.
