Joe Gomez Future Uncertain as Liverpool Prepare for Major Summer Changes

On Media Matters for Anfield Index, Dave Davis and Lewis Steele discussed the growing uncertainty around Joe Gomez’s future at Liverpool, with the defender entering the final year of his contract.

The 28-year-old has just one year remaining on his current deal at Anfield and, according to Steele, there is now a strong possibility that this summer could mark the end of his long Liverpool career.

Gomez has spent almost a decade at the club and remains one of the most experienced figures in the dressing room, despite injuries and changing roles across recent seasons.

Lewis Steele expects Gomez to leave

During the conversation, Steele admitted that the way Gomez has been speaking publicly has raised doubts over whether he will remain part of Arne Slot’s plans.

“I do think Gomez will go,” Steele said.

He pointed towards Gomez’s recent interviews and comments about his time at Liverpool, adding: “He said he’s had a grateful time at the club.”

Steele suggested that kind of language did not sound like a player preparing to sign an extension. “It’s not something I think you’d be saying if you were extending,” he explained.

Leadership concerns growing at Liverpool

The potential departure of Gomez was also discussed in the wider context of Liverpool’s leadership group potentially being dismantled this summer.

Steele described Gomez as “definitely one of the leaders that we don’t speak about enough.”

That matters because Liverpool could lose several senior figures during the upcoming transfer window, including Mohamed Salah and potentially other experienced names around the squad.
