Liverpool have insisted that they will not give their approval for the transfer, according to reports. This means that Gomez's move to AC Milan is currently off. With less than 6 hours remaining in the transfer window, Liverpool must decide whether to let Gomez go or keep him as a backup to Guehi.

Palace had also been approached about taking Gomez on loan, but Liverpool refused. This suggests that Slot values Gomez, who played against Arsenal in Liverpool's 1-0 win on Sunday.
