News about Joe Gomez

Barcelona's Ferran Torres could be headed for a surprise return to the Premier League as Newcastle are reportedly preparing a bid for the winger. Torres spent a season-and-a-half with Manchester City before returning back to his native Spain when Barcelona signed him for £47million in January 2021. Despite his hefty price tag, Torres has struggled for consistency since moving to the La Liga giants.

SIMON JONES: Newcastle are aware that Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is exploring options after missing the Reds' 2-0 win over Ipswich on Saturday.  The 27-year-old, who wants more regular starting opportunities and in his favoured centre-back position, was not included in Arne Slot's first Premier League matchday squad at Portman Road this weekend. Jarell Quansah was given the nod at centre-half alongside Virgil van Dijk before being ruthlessly hooked by the Dutch manager for Ibrahima Konate at half time.

Joe Gomez has not travelled with the Liverpool squad to Ipswich today as the defender is considering his options.

England's Euro 2024 stars have returned to training as they step up their preparations for the new season. The Three Lions were so close to glory at the tournament in Germany this summer, before they heartbreakingly lost 2-1 to Spain in the final. That game took place on Sunday, July 14, with all of England's squad granted extra time off by their clubs to rest and recharge.

Liverpool could be forced to consider bringing in a new defender should Joe Gomez leave this summer. The England international saw a potential £45million move to Newcastle United fall through last month as part of negotiations around the deal for Anthony Gordon and is open minded about seeking a new challenge in his quest for regular first team football. Despite the departure of Joel Matip, the emergence of another Newcastle target Jarell Quansah, and the development on loan at Mainz of Sepp van den Berg, means coach Arne Slot does have options, but Gomez's versatility and consistency has been crucial for Liverpool over recent seasons.

Liverpool fans have been left fawning over a training clip from their pre-season tour of the US. The Reds headed across the pond earlier this week as they continue preparations ahead of Arne Slot's first season in charge. Liverpool will face Real Betis in Pittsburgh on Friday, before taking on Arsenal in Philadelphia and Man United in South Carolina next week.

As England is set to face the Netherlands on Wednesday - the Three Lions' wives and partners are sure to be in the stands supporting their loved ones.  And the same goes for their rivals, who will have a host of glamorous WAGs, including models and business owners. But as England tries to secure a place in the final and bring home the trophy as the Lionesses did in 2022, they will be up against members of their own Premier League teams. Partners of football stars that may have sat together for matches and cheered on the same team will now be donning opposing football shirts as their boyfriends, fiancés and husbands battle it out to the end.

CHRIS SUTTON: I'm not sure now is the right time for Gareth Southgate to gamble by switching to a three-man defence out of fear of the Swiss. Ezri Konsa plays for Aston Villa, who don't use a back three. Lewis Dunk for Brighton, who don't. Joe Gomez for Liverpool, who don't. Kyle Walker and John Stones for Manchester City, who don't, albeit you could argue that Pep Guardiola sending a man into midfield sees them flirt with that formation. And that is before you get to the options for wing backs, from Bukayo Saka to Kieran Trippier to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Fans have heaped praise on Kobbie Mainoo after England released a clip of the 19-year-old in training on social media. In less than a year since making his first senior league start, Mainoo has announced himself as an integral member of Erik ten Hag's Man United side and one of England's brightest prospects. After a sensational breakthrough campaign at Old Trafford, Mainoo was handed his first England cap in March in a friendly against Brazil before starting against Belgium three days later.

Jermaine Jenas and Danny Murphy have told Mail Sport the England starting XIs they would play against Slovakia if they were in charge of the Three Lions. Gareth Southgate is under increasing pressure after three underwhelming displays from his side at Euro 2024. A win and two draws was still enough to see England to finish top of their group and qualify for the last-16 but many fans feel big changes are needed if the team are to go much further.

LEWIS STEELE: Liverpool are set for a relatively quiet summer of incomings as Arne Slot inherits a squad in pleasing health, with only minor surgery required to fulfil his stated ambitions of bettering last season's third-place finish in the Premier League. Unlike last summer, when major changes were needed to overhaul an aging and lacklustre midfield, the new head coach knows he has a quality group of players to work with. The Dutchman will want to assess all of his options before making drastic alterations. But that doesn't mean there won't be a few outgoings this summer. New Fenway Sports Group CEO of Football Michael Edwards is keen to trade wisely and there could be a number of permanent exits to raise cash, plus some loan moves. Here, Mail Sport looks at those fringe players who could leave permanently or on loan this summer.

England hit a new low in their 1-1 draw with Denmark on Thursday night, producing one of their worst tournament performances in recent memory. There were alarming signs in England's opening game win against Serbia as the team dropped deep for long periods, and after naming an unchanged starting XI for the clash with Denmark, there were no signs of improvement in Frankfurt. Despite boasting a front four of Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and captain Harry Kane, England did not click in attack, while their midfield pairing of Declan Rice and Trent Alexander-Arnold never looked like working.

The Liverpool defender, who has 13 caps for his country, has headed to his first major tournament with his country and is hoping to make his mark as the Three Lions go for glory. He is one of eight defender named by manager Gareth Southgate for the tournament, and will be keen to play his part when they get their tournament underway against Serbia on Sunday. Speaking on the second episode of England's 'Diary Room' series, Gomez opened up on a variety of subjects, from a table tennis match to the start of the tournament this weekend.

Euro 2024 is now days away and managers from the 24 teams have named their final squad list. With over 600 players across Europe set to feature at this year's European Championship. Here is a breakdown of every Premier League player appearing at Euro 2024 by club.

Wolfsburg have emerged as early frontrunners for Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg. The 22-year old enjoyed a strong season on loan at Bundesliga side Mainz this year and spoke candidly last week about his desire to leave and continue playing regular first team football. Van den Berg signed for Liverpool from PEC Zwolle in 2019 for £1.4million but after loan spells at Preston North End, Schalke and Mainz, they now value him closer to £20m.

SIMON JONES: Liverpool's Luis Diaz and Joe Gomez have emerged as targets for the Saudi Arabian Pro League as they look to attract younger players this summer. Diaz, 27, has been one of Liverpool's stand-out performers since arriving from Porto for a relative bargain £37.5million in 2022 while Gomez, also 27, has just come off one of his best seasons at Anfield having been utilised in a number of positions across defence and midfield. However, there is a belief that both could be open to a move this summer following Jurgen Klopp's departure and the arrival of Arne Slot from Feyenoord. Liverpool will naturally look to tweak their squad and the Saudi League believe there is an opportunity to test their resolve over the coming weeks.

Liverpool have slapped a £20million valuation on a forgotten defender who hasn't made a senior appearance since 2020. The centre-back in question has been placed on the market but will be assessed by incoming head coach Arne Slot in pre-season. Slot will be looking for a defender to come in and replace the hole left by Joel Matip, with the German centre-half leaving upon the expiration of his contract. The Reds already have a wealth of defensive talent with Jarell Quansah breaking through last season to take his place alongside captain Virgil van Dijk, while Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez are also strong options at the back.

The hum of excitement has been growing inside the Charlton Athletic academy. It started when two of their graduates, Joe Gomez and Ezri Konsa were called into England's Euro 2024 squad and gathered intensity when another, Ademola Lookman, scored a hat-trick to win the Europa League final for Atalanta. Scholars were all talking about those who walked before them and the inspiration could hardly come at a better time.

JOE BERNSTEIN AT ANFIELD: Mo Salah returned with a goal and assist before Liverpool held off an unexpected Tottenham comeback in Jurgen Klopp's penultimate game at Anfield. Liverpool were in rampant form and Spurs shambolic in the first hour as Klopp's side raced into a 4-0 lead. But the arrival of substitute Richarlison helped the visitors pull a couple of goals back to provide some late jeopardy. All eyes were on Salah before kick off after he was restored to Klopp's starting line-up after their bust-up at West Ham last weekend.

The defender played 84 minutes at Goodison Park on Wednesday night before being withdrawn for Joe Gomez, much to the amusement of the home crowd in Merseyside. The 2-0 loss puts the Reds four points adrift of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League with four games to go, with the hopes of winning the title in Jurgen Klopp's final game all but gone. It's been a rough few weeks for Liverpool, who have dropped a number of points as a season that had promised so much collapsed around them and their players.

Jurgen Klopp fumed when Joe Gomez attempted a wild shot on goal in Thursday's crushing 3-0 defeat against Atalanta as the England star's agonising wait for a first Reds goal dragged on. Defeat ended Liverpool's previous 33-game unbeaten home streak as Gianluca Scamacca's brace and an 83rd-minute Mario Pasalic strike secured a magic victory for the Serie A visitors.

MATT BARLOW: After a fruitful year in the FA Youth Cup, no club will know the wellbeing of its academy, but for the casual observer, a prestigious tournament is always a useful barometer. Leeds United have reached the final for the first time this century and face Manchester City, a dependable force since the Abu Dhabi takeover. They are prestigious academies, with 26 out of a total of 26 in English football bestowed with Category One status, but the Youth Cup this season will be regarded as a triumph for those struggling for survival in the undergrowth.

Fans of England have urged Gareth Southgate to be brave and fast track a Championship star in the squad for Euro 2024, in case Luke Shaw isn't fit in time. The Manchester United full-back is competing to be fit for the Euros as he fights to recover from his thigh injury and then get enough minutes for his club to justify his selection. Since being Southgate's first choice left-back, Ben Chilwell, Kieran Trippier, and Joe Gomez are all available as back-ups, Southgate will not want to gamble unless Shaw can demonstrate his fitness.
