AC Milan have shown interest in signing Liverpool defender Joe Gomez before the summer window closes. Gomez, 28, is not a regular starter at Liverpool and has been linked with several clubs. Milan view him as a versatile defender who can play centrally, at full-back, or as a defensive midfielder and can contribute with the ball. Liverpool currently have limited defensive depth with three experienced central defenders and are unlikely to let Gomez leave easily. Liverpool have considered signing Marc Guehi but that deal has not materialized. Manager Arne Slot rates Gomez highly as a professional.
Gomez would improve Milan There is no doubt that he is good enough to start for them, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for the right price. Milan are looking to add more depth to the defensive unit, and they have been linked with multiple players in recent days, as per Gianluca Di Marzio. Gomez would be the ideal acquisition for them.
He is an excellent defender, and he is versatile enough to slot into multiple roles. He can operate in central defence, as a full back, as well as a defensive midfielder. Apart from his defensive qualities, he is exceptional with the ball at his feet. He could add a new dimension to the Milan defence.

However, Liverpool are already lacking in depth in the defensive unit. They have three experienced central defenders, and it seems highly unlikely that they will let Gomez leave the club. There has been talk of Liverpool signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, but that deal has not worked out yet. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next couple of days. Liverpool need to keep the depth of their squad intact if they want to do well in multiple competitions.
