Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany is keen to sign Liverpool defender Joe Gomez, according to The Mirror.
Gomez is currently the longest serving player at Anfield and his versatility has been a huge asset for the Reds.
Former manager Jurgen Klopp used the defender in not only his natural position of centre-back but also as a right-back and left-back.
The 27-year-old Gomez just had his best season with Liverpool, appearing in 51 games across all competitions.
It is anticipated that the Reds will not be particularly keen to part with Gomez this summer.
With the arrival of a new manager in Arne Slot, the Reds would be hoping to keep their experienced players at the club to help with the transition period.
However, Kompany is an admirer of the Liverpool defender and wants to make him one of his first signings at the Allianz Arena.
Gomez’s fine performances in the 2023-24 season have earned him a call-up to the England squad for Euro 2024.
