The transfer window is buzzing with excitement, but one deal that had everyone talking has unexpectedly crumbled, leaving fans and analysts alike shaken.

Despite ALL parties being keen to finalize the transfer, Liverpool’s move for Joe Gomez to AC Milan has collapsed. Sources suggest that there's no possibility of revival, marking a surprising turn of events for the Reds.

A Summer of Big Moves for Liverpool!

Liverpool has been energized in this summer transfer window, securing high-profile signings like Marc Guehi and Alexander Isak, with a staggering collective cost of £160 million (£125 million for Isak and £35 million for Guehi). Notably, Crystal Palace will retain a 10% sell-on clause for Guehi, indicating confidence in his rising star.

Guehi is set to undergo his medical while Isak has already passed his, preparing to pen a six-year contract. However, the arrival of Isak has paved the way for Harvey Elliott's departure to Aston Villa on a one-year loan, complete with a £35 million buy option.

The Twist: Joe Gomez Stays!

With Guehi’s imminent arrival, there was movement expected for Joe Gomez, who had been linked to AC Milan with a £13 million bid. Despite Gomez being enthusiastic about the move—eager for more playtime—both clubs failed to finalize the deal in a timely manner.

Sky Sports confirmed that Gomez will remain with Liverpool, stating unequivocally, 'Gomez to stay at Liverpool – no matter what.' The deadline drama proved too tight for Milan to complete the transfer.

A Tight Squeeze in the Transfer Market

Further insights from transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio highlighted that the crunch time for medical checks was the fatal blow to Gomez’s move. With the Italian transfer deadline coinciding with the British one at 7 PM, Milan simply ran out of time.

As it stands, Gomez is set to continue his tenure at Anfield, where he’ll be vying for a starting position against formidable players like Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, along with new arrival Marc Guehi. The stakes are higher as he now must navigate a more competitive squad to secure his place.
