Gazzetta dello Sport‘s Luca Bianchin reported earlier today that AC Milan’s move for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez was stalling.
The Reds were struggling to reach a deal for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, leading to them maintaining a firm stance about keeping the 28-year-old at Anfield.
Despite this, there’s now a more positive slant.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports the Liverpool centre-back has now verbally agreed terms with Milan, and there’s also a verbal agreement between the clubs.
The journalist claims that Gomez is edging closer to the San Siro because of this agreement.
AC Milan are currently waiting for the final green light from Liverpool and it will only arrive if Crystal Palace sell Guehi to them on deadline day.
Everything suggests that the Rossoneri are now relying on their agreement with Gomez to seal a move in the next few hours, but it remains to be seen if the defender pushes for a transfer or not.
Max Allegri’s side have shown an inclination towards a back three so far this season and this is prompting them to sign another centre-back. As a result, Gomez may get more regular game time under the Italian.
