Paully Posted Wednesday at 11:21 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:21 Athletic article about Gomez' future; Liverpool discussed selling Joe Gomez to Newcastle in June. His future is still uncertain Negotiations were so advanced over the proposed transfer of Liverpool defender Joe Gomez to Newcastle United in late June that payment terms were discussed. Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes had agreed to sell Gomez for £45 million ($57.6m) based on winger Anthony Gordon heading in the opposite direction for £75million — two separate deals but each dependent on the other. Newcastle CEO Darren Eales wanted the bulk of the fee for Gordon up front as Newcastle sought to raise funds before the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) reporting deadline. Tentative enquiries were also made with the England camp about holding medicals for Gomez and Gordon during the European Championship in Germany. Newcastle had initially wanted to sign Jarell Quansah but were informed that the 21-year-old academy graduate, who made 33 appearances during a breakthrough season in 2023-24, wasn’t available at any price. However, when Newcastle turned their attention to Gomez, Liverpool were willing to negotiate. The club’s longest-serving player also made it clear during discussions that he was open to joining Eddie Howe’s squad. Newcastle were offering him regular game time in his preferred role as a right-sided centre-back. At the eleventh hour, the deals were shelved. Newcastle backed out of letting Gordon leave when the £35m sale of Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh’s £30m move to Brighton & Hove Albion gave them the £60m they needed before the PSR deadline on June 30 without offloading one of their biggest assets. A month on, little has changed but the landscape could soon shift, with Gordon and Gomez returning to club duties next week following an extended break after their England commitments at the Euros. Liverpool remain big admirers of Gordon, who had his head turned by the interest of the club he grew up supporting. However, Liverpool also appreciate that Newcastle, who intend to offer Gordon a new deal on improved terms, are no longer under the same financial pressures.

Ben Posted Wednesday at 11:26 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:26 Man Utd are £1 Billion in debt !! that's financial pressure, not the fact that the EPL are preventing us from spending. Systems fucked man !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted Wednesday at 11:49 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:49 Unless Gordon “wants” to leave he won’t but with two years left on his contract we will have to sell if he fancies Pool. New contract incoming if he doesn’t go that’s for sure. The issue with selling him is he’s integral to what we do and then you have to find a replacement. I tend to think if Guehi comes in (they supposedly get in very well) then that’s another reason he’ll stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's disgusting if true, Eales has lost his mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelphish Posted Wednesday at 12:05 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:05 Probably a bit of a reach but if Howe knew about this, (still not sure I believe it, it's that absurd) potentially explains his press conferences. I'd imagine he'd have lost his shit at the whole idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted Wednesday at 12:36 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:36 We potential had no other option then due to our dire situation, we don’t have to sell now so there’s a big difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that has probably pissed off Schar and Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted Wednesday at 16:55 Share Posted Wednesday at 16:55 Quote from Romano: “If they drop the price at Newcastle, that could still be a possibility, I think, for Liverpool in the final weeks on the transfer window. But it's not something that I'm hearing is now really imminent, because there is still no bid to Newcastle.There is still no fresh club to club conversation. So we have to see what happens in kind of domino players. But, at the moment, is not something really imminent and we also have to respect Newcastle because they want to keep Anthony Gordon at the club. So, it is not going to be easy at all, but the appreciation is 100%confirmed.” Don’t think he is really saying anything, beyond between the lines speculation.
