Joe Gomez is set to stay at Liverpool for the 2025/26 season despite significant interest from AC Milan and other European clubs[1]. Although AC Milan reportedly offered Gomez a four-year contract and matched his Liverpool salary, the transfer ultimately fell through due to logistics and Liverpool’s hesitance to sanction the move before securing a replacement, specifically Marc Guehi[2][5][7].
Liverpool were clear in their stance, opting to retain Gomez because the club needed defensive depth, especially with Jarell Quansah’s departure and concerns over other centre-backs’ fitness[4][8]. There were reports that if Liverpool managed to secure Guehi, Gomez’s exit might still be possible before the transfer window closed, but as of the last updates, no deal has been finalized and Gomez remains a Liverpool player[6].
Gomez was impressive off the bench in Liverpool’s recent victory over Arsenal, making more clearances and winning more aerial duels than any other Liverpool player despite coming on late in the match[3][4]. His performance highlighted his value to the squad, which contributed to Liverpool’s decision to retain him for the upcoming campaign.
The situation could change if late moves materialize, but the consensus from multiple reliable sources is that Joe Gomez will not be joining AC Milan this window[1][2][7].
