Recently, according to the latest news from the English media CaughtOffside, the contract of Ligue 1 Lille midfielder Gomez is about to expire. This is equivalent to a big fish released by the European transfer market this summer, which immediately attracted the attention and pursuit of many European powerful teams.

Gomez plays as a midfielder and is only 24 years old this year. He is currently an important player in the England national team. In recent seasons, he has performed very well in Ligue 1. As a midfielder, he has in addition to outstanding interception and steals, but also has super strong frontcourt attack attributes. Data shows that in the past four seasons, in addition to his remarkable performance on the defensive end, he has also contributed a total of 10 goals and 19 assists to Lille. It can be said that he is both offensive and defensive and can do everything.

According to various sources, so far, seven European teams including Manchester United, Tottenham, Everton, Crystal Palace, Marseille, Juventus and Naples have developed a strong interest in Gomez. This summer, the above seven European teams will inevitably launch a battle to compete for the young England international.

Among these 7 suitors, Premier League giants Manchester United and Tottenham have the strongest intentions. Among them, Tottenham currently has a leading position in this battle, and they are striving to sign Gomez for free. For Tottenham, Gomez's joining can further enhance the strength and creativity of the midfield and provide strong support for the team to strive for a better league ranking.

However, the Red Devils and Manchester United are not without a chance. Although they are currently at a disadvantage, Manchester United is Gomez's old club after all, and it is Manchester United's youth training system that trains him. According to sources, the possibility of Gomez returning to Old Trafford still exists. In addition to Manchester United and Tottenham, Everton and Crystal Palace also showed strong interest in Gomez, but the two clubs have not yet had any contact with Gomez on the transfer deal. Whether they will join this fierce competition in the future remains to be seen.

In addition to Premier League teams, clubs from Serie A and Ligue 1 are also ready to move against Gomez. Serie A two-star Naples and Juventus also hope to sign the 24-year-old England midfielder. The French Ligue 1 giant Marseille is also playing Gomez, hoping to convince Gomez to stay in France and continue to develop in a familiar environment.

So, we can only wait and see where this big fish that flows out of the Ligue 1 will swim this summer. It is expected that the possibility of returning to the Premier League is greater.
