Liverpool could be in for a hectic end to the summer transfer window with several deals still yet to be concluded.

The Reds have finally completed their first signing of the summer with a £30million deal for Giorgi Mamardashvili – although the Georgian goalkeeper will not feature at Anfield until next season.

However, Liverpool have made contact with Federico Chiesa and their interest in the Italian winger could go down to the wire.

There are also a number of outgoings that the Merseyside club will want to complete before the window closes on Friday evening – one of which is that Stefan Bajcetic is close to joining RB Salzburg on loan.

Reports suggest four Liverpool players could leave before the transfer deadline, including defender Joe Gomez.

Joe Gomez is ‘one to watch’ ahead of deadline day

Liverpool value Gomez at around £30m, and the 27-year-old has attracted a lot of interest from the Premier League.

Chelsea, Newcastle and Aston Villa have shown interest in Gomez, but there is also a chance that he could stay put at Anfield to work under new manager Arne Slot.

Fabrizio Romano has now shared an update via CaughtOffside on Gomez’s future and suggested that there are two other Premier League clubs keeping an eye on a potential deal.

“There is still no update so far on the future of Joe Gomez. Interest from many clubs like Crystal Palace, Fulham and more remains, but there is nothing concrete yet on club-to-club talks or with an official bid.

“It remains one to watch but Gomez could also end up staying at Liverpool,”

Liverpool would need a Joe Gomez replacement

With Joel Matip leaving as a free agent and Sepp van den Berg sold to Brentford for £30million, Liverpool run the risk of leaving themselves short of centre-back options.

Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate appear to be Slot’s favoured pairing at the back, and they have Jarell Quansah as back-up, but any injuries would Liverpool extremely thin.

If Gomez is sold in the final days of the window, Liverpool would certainly need to dip into the market to replace him with a new centre-back.
