Leeds, Villa & Newcastle enter shock bidding war for Liverpool star

In a surprising twist to the summer transfer window, Leeds, Aston Villa, and Newcastle have entered a shock bidding war for a Liverpool star. With all three clubs eager to bolster their squads, the Reds could be set to cash in — but fans didn’t see this one coming.

Liverpool are set to light a fire on their attempts to sell some of their fringe stars in the ongoing transfer window as they seek to balance their squad in the coming weeks.

Several Reds stars are on the chopping block as Arne Slot looks to reshape his squad and have his stamp on a team that will have Florian Wirtz next season.

One of these Liverpool squad players is ready to spark a bidding war between seven Premier League clubs, which include Leeds, Aston Villa and Newcastle.

Leeds, Villa and Newcastle scrapping for Liverpool star

Joe Gomez is the last surviving player in the current squad from the Brendan Rodgers era and has spent more than ten years at Anfield.

The defender will leave Liverpool this summer, with the Reds keen to move him on to raise funds and clear space in their wage bill ahead of next season.

According to the Guardian, as many as seven Premier League clubs are interested in signing the centre-back in the ongoing transfer window.

Leeds, Villa and Newcastle are among the clubs chasing him, with West Ham, Sunderland, Everton, and Burnley are also interested in Gomez this summer.

With several Premier League clubs chasing him, Liverpool have jacked up his asking price and are confident of getting a good deal.

The Merseyside giants want up to £30m from the sale of the defender in the ongoing transfer window.

Gomez has won two Premier League titles and a Champions League among other honours at Liverpool.
