Liverpool fans are demanding Joe Gomez is used in an ambitious swap deal this summer.
Gomez was omitted from Liverpool’s squad for their Premier League opener against Ipswich Town on Saturday. The Reds secured a 2-0 victory with goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah. Gomez did not travel to Ipswich as he contemplates his future amid interest from Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Fulham, and other international clubs.
Liverpool fans are keen on a potential swap deal involving Gomez and Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle. One fan suggested: “If Newcastle is interested in Joe Gomez, we should arrange a swap plus cash deal for Bruno Guimaraes. We need him more than Anthony Gordon, given our current attacking options.”
Supporters echoed this sentiment, with one commenting: “Swap Gomez for Guimaraes, and then pursue Gordon once Barcelona overpays for Lucho.” Another added: “Absolutely agree. Newcastle wanted 90 million for Bruno, and we valued Gomez at 45 million earlier in the summer.” A third fan stated: “Scoring isn’t our issue; we need a midfielder.”
Liverpool’s failure to secure Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad has left them searching for a No.6 following Thiago Alcantara’s retirement. Fans are hopeful that the club can facilitate a deal involving Joe Gomez to bring Bruno Guimaraes to Anfield. Gomez is considering his future as he explores options for a move away from Liverpool.
Arne Slot, who began his Liverpool tenure with a victory, has yet to make any signings this summer.
Bruno Guimaraes, who joined Newcastle from Lyon in January 2022, has been a standout performer for the club. The 26-year-old, who signed a new five-year contract last year, has made 86 Premier League appearances and is considered one of the top midfielders in the league.
