Vincent Kompany has set his sights on Liverpool defender Joe Gomez as part of his plans to strengthen Bayern Munich’s squad, following his recent appointment as the club's manager.
Gomez, who recently completed a season where he made a career-high 51 appearances for Liverpool, showcasing his versatility across the defense and even in midfield, has attracted Kompany's attention for bolstering Bayern's defensive line.
The England international's impressive performances have earned him a recall to the England squad for Euro 2024, marking his return to international football since 2020.
Currently in Germany, Gomez is preparing for England’s opening match against Serbia on June 16.
Despite Bayern's interest, securing Gomez's signature may prove challenging, given that he has a five-year contract with Liverpool, binding him to Anfield until 2027.
Reportedly, new Liverpool manager Arne Slot highly values Gomez and is hesitant to part ways with the 27-year-old.
However, there have been indications that Gomez might be open to a move, as reported by talkSPORT in May, potentially fueling Kompany's hopes in his pursuit of the talented defender.
In the event that a deal for Gomez doesn't materialize, Kompany is exploring alternative options, including Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah and Chelsea’s Levi Colwill.
