Liverpool Fans Demand Joe Gomez Swap Deal for Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes
The Reds’ opener against Ipswich Town on Saturday saw Joe Gomez left out of the squad, sparking rumors about his future at Anfield. As the defender considers his options, Liverpool fans are demanding a swap deal for Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes.
The Brazilian midfielder has been instrumental in the Magpies’ success since joining from Lyon in January 2022. With 86 top-flight appearances under his belt, Guimaraes is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the league.
On Twitter, @Mobyhaque1 proposed a swap deal: "If Newcastle comes back for Joe Gomez, do a swap + cash deal for Bruno Guimaraes, we need him more than we do Anthony Gordon. We don’t need Anthony given options we have up top today." The tweet sparked a heated debate among Liverpool fans, with many agreeing that Guimaraes would be an excellent addition to the squad.
One fan commented: "Swap Gomez for Guimaraes, then go back for Gordon after Barca overpay for Lucho." Another added: "Absolutely this. They want 90mil for Bruno. Were willing to call Gomez 45mil earlier in summer." A third fan chimed in: "Scoring isn’t an issue, we need a midfielder."
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s manager, has yet to sign anyone this summer after the club failed to acquire Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. The Reds have been searching for a No.6 to replace Thiago Alcantara, who retired earlier this year.
Guimaraes would fit the bill perfectly, and fans are hoping that the club can engineer a deal with Gomez, who is exploring his options ahead of a move away from Anfield.
