AC Milan submits official bid for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez

AC Milan have submitted an official bid to Liverpool for defender Joe Gomez as they seek to strengthen their defense before the summer transfer window closes. Milan's initial target, Manuel Akanji from Manchester City, rejected a move, leaving Gomez as their top choice for center-back under coach Massimiliano Allegri. Liverpool are open to the deal but have made it conditional on signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace as a replacement. Gomez, who is versatile across defensive positions and has made 242 appearances for Liverpool, is reportedly willing to move for a more prominent role. Negotiations are ongoing, with Milan and Liverpool working out both the transfer fee and personal terms with Gomez. The transfer will depend heavily on Liverpool finalizing Guehi's signing to ensure squad depth.
