Besiktas eye Liverpool defender Joe Gomez in potential summer move

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is being linked with a summer move to Turkish side Besiktas, with the England‑ and Gambia‑eligible centre-back’s future at Anfield uncertain.

The 28-year-old, valued at €15.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of fresh speculation over a switch from the Premier League to the Süper Lig, with Besiktas monitoring his situation ahead of the next transfer window. The reported probability of a deal remains unclear, listed only as “?” in the latest rumours, and there is currently no confirmed end date to his Liverpool contract, keeping open the possibility of a future free‑agent departure if terms are not renewed.

Gomez, born in London on 23 May 1997, has spent his senior career at Liverpool, wearing the number 2 shirt and operating primarily as a right‑footed centre-back, though he has also been used across the back line. Standing at 1.88m, he offers height and versatility, attributes that would appeal to Besiktas as they look to rebuild their defence.

The defender, who holds nationalities for England and The Gambia, has been part of a Liverpool side competing at the top end of the Premier League in recent seasons. He most recently featured for Liverpool in the 2025‑26 campaign, with his performances in league fixtures helping maintain his market value at around €15.00m, despite increased competition for places in Jürgen Klopp’s back line.

No agreement has been reached between the clubs and no fee, loan structure or pre‑contract has been confirmed, but Besiktas’ interest underlines the growing trend of Süper Lig clubs targeting experienced Premier League players. Should a move materialise, a switch to Istanbul could offer Gomez a fresh platform to re-establish himself as a first‑choice centre-back and potentially reshape the next phase of his career.
