Joao Gomez news has been somewhat quiet since Ben Jacobs suggested Liverpool were continuing to show interest in July.
The Reds ‘love’ the Wolves midfielder but say the club are under no obligation to sell. Caught offside Columnist play.
Things have cooled down considerably in that regard, with rivals Manchester United now looking to fill the void as they search for a new No.6.

Manchester United are interested in Gomez
Steve Kay Football transfers Now, the ‘amazing’ (as previously described by manager Gary O’Neill) report: Express and Star) The 23-year-old is attracting keen interest from Manchester United.
This comes after the club decided to abandon talks with PSG over a possible move for Manuel Ugarte this summer, with Erik Ten Hag’s side reportedly losing interest in the Ligue 1 club’s high valuation (€60m). [£51.4m] asking price).
The Wolves star could be brought in as a replacement if either Casemiro or Scott McTominay leave the club in the transfer market.
Can Liverpool stick with their current options?
There is a very good chance that Arne Slot will maintain faith in his existing squad of players.
For example, the Netherlands manager praised Ryan Gravenberch’s performance as part of a powerful six in Liverpool’s 3-0 win over the Red Devils at the weekend.
“I think Ryan (Gravenberch) has done a great job in that position (against Manchester United in South Carolina) and we have other options.” The 45-year-old said.
“The best way to judge that is when all the players are back and those who haven’t come back yet. But a club like Liverpool is always looking to see what’s possible, to see who can strengthen the squad. That’s what we (mostly Richard) are looking for. I’m the same.”
Of course, if we maintain a serious interest in Gomez, there is a very good chance the club will take action before we lose another potential target to our league rivals.
