As Storm Amy threatens to disrupt football fixtures across England, former FIFA referee has stepped in to provide the latest update on whether the much-anticipated clash between Manchester United and Sunderland will go ahead as planned.
Meanwhile, in the transfer world, Liverpool’s defensive situation remains under the spotlight. Reports indicate that AC Milan were close to securing Joe Gomez this summer — but the deal collapsed after Liverpool couldn’t finalize terms with Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi.
Manager Arne Slot has made it clear: he won’t sanction any exits from his already thin defensive lineup. Despite ongoing rumours, sources reveal that Gomez is content at Anfield, as long as he continues to feature regularly as backup to Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.
Speaking on The Inside Track Podcast, insiders confirmed:
> “As long as Gomez is involved and gets minutes, he’s happy to stay. There’s been interest from AC Milan and clubs abroad, but Liverpool’s situation means letting him go is not even up for discussion.”
With Giovanni Leoni sidelined due to injury, the Reds are actively exploring new centre-back options — though keeping Gomez fit and focused could be crucial to stabilizing the defence.
Liverpool reportedly have five defenders on their shortlist after missing out on Guehi during the last transfer window. Yet, insiders suggest the club could reignite their pursuit of the Palace defender in January if the opportunity arises.
For now, Liverpool’s stance is firm — Gomez stays, and reinforcements are coming. The next few weeks could shape how Slot’s team recovers from their recent defeats to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray, and Chelsea.
