Sergio Gómez, a Barcelona youngster, is one of the players generating the most interest in the Premier League, where clubs are always keen to pick up Barça youngsters when they turn 16. The latest club to take an interest is Liverpool, who have been in contact this week. The Merseysiders are willing to pull out all the stops to convince him to join them, and are well aware that other big Premier League clubs are following him as well.
Barcelona will attempt to retain the player, even though they are severely limited in terms of the salaries they can pay. The club is planning to offer him a good contract, but will mainly rely on the player's loyalty to Barcelona.
Liverpool's interest in the player is nothing new. However, the decisive moment came during a youth tournament held a month ago in Abu Dhabi. Barcelona beat Liverpool 4-3 and Sergio Gómez caught the eye of the English club's scouts that day.
