Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has provided some insight into the latest on Liverpool’s plans for the summer amid links with Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi and Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon.
Both Guehi and Gordon are currently on England duty at Euro 2024, so it seems unlikely that anything is going to be happening with them that imminently, but it makes sense that they’re two talented young players who’ll be of interest to bigger clubs.
Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column, Romano explained that Liverpool have not had any concrete talks over a swap deal for Gordon, despite some talk of Joe Gomez being on offer from the Reds to the Magpies.
Romano hasn’t heard anything about that, while he also admits there’s a lot of interest in Guehi, but that the 23-year-old is currently only focused on the Euros, so there’s not necessarily anything specific or concrete with LFC.
“It’s been a quiet summer for Liverpool so far, but we know there was recently interest in Anthony Gordon, and there has been some speculation about a failed attempt at agreeing a swap deal with Newcastle,” Romano said.
“Some outlets have reported that Joe Gomez was one of the names being offered by Liverpool to Newcastle, but I can’t confirm this. Newcastle and Liverpool had a contact for Gordon, as reported a few days ago, but a swap deal was never something close or concrete, so I don’t have this information I’m afraid.
“In terms of names coming in for the defence, Marc Guehi has been linked with Liverpool (as well as other clubs) several times and he’s impressing with England at the Euros. There is interest from many clubs, but nothing close or concrete yet as he wants to focus on the tournament now and not be distracted. For sure Guehi remains an interesting name for this summer with two years left on his contract at Crystal Palace.”
