Milan have opened talks with Liverpool over the potential transfer of Joe Gomez, who currently plays as a defender. According to multiple reliable reports, negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. Milan remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Brighton and Crystal Palace continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. With only 19 goals conceded in 25 (0.76 per game), Milan have been one of the stronger defences in the Serie A this season.. Joe Gomez would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Liverpool have also been linked with Malick Thiaw, Ousmane Dembele and Allan Andrade Elias while Milan are reportedly monitoring Jean-Philippe Mateta, Gabriel Jesus and Robert Lewandowski.
