Leeds United have taken a bold step in their summer transfer plans by reportedly making an enquiry for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez. The 27-year-old England international, who is valued at around £30 million, has emerged as a surprise but ambitious target for the Whites as they look to bolster their defensive ranks ahead of the new season.
Gomez, widely regarded for his pace, composure, and versatility—capable of playing both centre-back and full-back—has found consistent starts harder to come by at Anfield due to Liverpool’s fierce competition at the back. With Leeds aiming for a return to the Premier League and seeking a major upgrade in defence, the club sees Gomez as a “phenomenal” addition who could bring top-flight pedigree and leadership to their squad.
Sources close to Elland Road suggest that Leeds view Gomez as a substantial upgrade over current options and are exploring the financial feasibility of a deal. However, Liverpool remain reluctant sellers, valuing the player’s experience and depth, especially with uncertainties around their own defensive reinforcements.
While a deal remains in its early stages, the enquiry alone signals Leeds’ intent to attract top-tier talent and build a squad capable of challenging for promotion and long-term stability in England’s top division.
