In total, the defender made only 21 appearances and four Premier League starts.
But despite being out of favour, Gomez has always remained highly regarded by Reds manager Jurgen Klopp.
And with two years still to go on his current deal, Liverpool are ready to hand Gomez - who arrived from Charlton in 2015 - fresh terms.

But to fend off any potential suitors, Liverpool are ready to tie Gomez down to a new contract.
He's already returned for Reds pre-season training and will be looking to impress Klopp ahead of the new campaign.
Gomez has won every trophy possible during his seven years on Merseyside.
He was van Dijk's regular partner when Liverpool claimed the Premier League title in 2019-20.
