Liverpool have been at the centre of a number of transfer stories this summer.

Martin Zubimendi was strongly linked with a move to Anfield, while there have also been plenty of reports about potential outgoings.

Indeed, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, while Mohamed Salah continues to be linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Joe Gomez is now reportedly looking to leave Liverpool.

Indeed, it has been reported that Gomez is exploring his transfer options, and speaking on TNT Sports (17/8/24 11:45AM), Joe Cole has shared his verdict on these rumours.

Cole says that he finds this situation strange, but he does slightly understand why Gomez may be looking to leave to get more first-team football.

Joe Cole reacts to Joe Gomez rumours

The pundit shared his verdict on the news that Gomez is looking to leave Liverpool.

“Yeah he has been a fantastic player for Liverpool. I really feel for Joe Gomez, before he had his injuries, two knee operations, when he emerged he was the answer for England at centre-half,” Cole said.

“It is a strange one, I can see it from both sides of things. I think he will want to go and play, he’s won his trophies, he will want to go somewhere and establish himself, seeing Marc Guehi and Konsa get into the England squad probably made him think he needs to play regularly this year.”

Joe Gomez may want to play more

As Cole says, Gomez’s stance may be entirely motivated by the amount of football he’s going to play.

He’s won all there is to win at Liverpool and earned a big wage while doing so.

Now, he may want to focus on his own game and pushing himself as hard as he can to become the best player he can possibly be.

Unfortunately, Gomez isn’t going to get the gametime he wants at Liverpool, and if he does want to progress as a player his best bet may be to move on.
