Liverpool star Joe Gomez opens door to exit after Arne Slot finds £60m replacement

Joe Gomez has cast doubt over his future by admitting that he 'doesn't know' if he'll be at Liverpool next season. Gomez , 28, is about to enter the final year of his contract with Reds, who've already signed a new centre-back . Jeremy Jacquet will arrive from French side Rennes this summer in a deal worth up to £60million which was finalised in January. With fellow defenders Ibrahima Konate in talks over a new contract and Giovanni Leoni due to return to training in pre-season , Gomez is likely drop further down the pecking order and find minutes even harder to come by. The former Charlton star's time on Merseyside has been ravaged by injury, having joined Liverpool for £3.5m in 2015. Gomez was close to leaving Anfield last summer before their move for Marc Guehi fell through, while AC Milan and Newcastle United have previously registered their interest. But with Jacquet arriving in a matter of weeks, Gomez is considering his future once more. After coming on as a substitute during Saturday's dull 1-1 draw with Chelsea , the 28-year-old admitted: "I think anything can happen. I don't know is the honest answer.

Whatever's meant to be will be, but I'm so grateful to have had this time here at this club. I always will be grateful to have had 11 years at a place like this. All I can do is be thankful and we'll see." If this is to be his 11th and final season with the Reds, it won't be one which Gomez will remember fondly. Having failed to defend the Premier League title and not won a cup, the manner of Liverpool's abject draw with Chelsea - in which they threw away an early lead - summed up their disappointing campaign. Arne Slot's side were booed off at the final whistle and Gomez can understand their fans' anger. "I guess it just is a summary of our year and it's just a reaction to the whole year, and that's fair enough," he added. Should Joe Gomez leave Liverpool? Have your say in the comments section . "The fans pay their hard-earned money to come and watch us and they're entitled to show their frustration, in the same way they cheer us. Fundamentally, the supporters want to see us give it all, but that is on the ball trying to play progressive football, trying to be intense, but also off the ball, put a foot in, try and win a tackle. "That's just what is expected of us and being passive in any sense is not what I know and no one wants to see. It is just trying to just implement that, day in, day out, but it's not easy at the same time. "You can't undermine that. This place (Anfield) comes with a lot of expectation and pressure and that takes time to understand and really get a full picture of. "We have to just do our best to rally around each other and try to get the boys' heads in the right direction. There's frustrations and there's been plenty of voices and discussions and meetings from different people - staff, players. "(It's a) Black and white thing now: we need Champions League football, that's the objective we get that. We dust ourselves off and we go again and just go into the [next] year and have a good start." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
