Liverpool ended up keeping Joe Gomez at the club in the summer despite plenty of interest from Aston Villa, but it doesn’t look as if that’s benefitted the Englishman so far.
This season, Arne Slot has chosen to start Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk as his favored defensive duo.
Although Jarell Quansah was initially part of Slot’s plans, it seems that his 45-minute cameo against Ipswich Town knocked him down the ladder because he hasn’t been seen since.
Despite having ties to Goncalo Inacio toward the conclusion of the year, Liverpool chose not to sign another center-back during the summer transfer window.
Van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Konate, Nathaniel Phillips, and Quansah are now the only players left.
Gomez has had difficulty getting minutes this season, though, and Fabrizio Romano has given the most recent information on his circumstances.
Fabrizio Romano issues Joe Gomez transfer update at Liverpool
Joe Gomez was sought back by Crystal Palace and Fulham in the summer, but nothing materialized.
Gomez has played just 11 minutes, and that was against AC Milan. Arne Slot is trying to make changes and cuts because of his hectic schedule.
The Carabao Cup resuming on Wednesday might be the ideal chance for the Englishman to show Slot what he’s made of.
Fabrizio Romano interestingly gave Caught Offside an update on Gomez’s circumstances at Liverpool.
“Despite recent interest, there have been no significant moves for Joe Gomez of Liverpool thus far.
Financial Fair Play regulations prevented Villa from signing a center back in August, while Newcastle desired Guehi.

“At the moment, everything is quiet, but it will be crucial to learn in the coming months how much Slot will use Gomez by having him rotate in multiple competitions.”
What does Arne Slot think of Joe Gomez?
Joe Gomez, who is said to be worth £30 million, was complimented by Arne Slot for his hard work upon his return from the Euros, but it’s clear that Slot wasn’t that impressed because he hasn’t been seen much.
It has spent the last three weeks in the proper location. Since his return, he has put in a lot of work.
“We had to manage his load because he didn’t play much at the Euros and couldn’t train for the entire session when he returned. This was partially the reason he wasn’t with the team on Saturday.
However, in terms of his workload and the amount of work he could accomplish with the team, he had a terrific week this week.
He is one of the players from whom I learn new things and gain insight from when observing him in tandem with other players. So far, this week has gone well for both of us.
I anticipate that everyone will be present at this time. However, anything can alter.
