According to TBR, Liverpool are expected to seal a move for Milos Kerkez in the coming days after advancing in talks with Bournemouth. Personal terms are not considered problematic in agreeing on a deal with the Premier League wideman, as the Cherries could demand at least £40 million.
Liverpool have stepped up on the gas to secure key transfer targets early in the window. There’s still some time for the window to officially open, and before that does, the Merseysiders might have secured two new full-backs to strengthen their side.
The loss of Trent Alexander-Arnold meant they had to bring in a new right-back as Jeremie Frimpong is halfway through the door from Bayer Leverkusen. Next up, the signing of Milos Kerkez seems imminent as Liverpool were seen as the favourites for the Premier League wideman.
Bournemouth are open to the sale despite the player having a contract until 2028, as a £40 million price tag is mooted. Kerkez had the interest of Real Madrid as well as other big clubs in the recent period, but it appears Liverpool are inching closer to the left-back, as Fabrizio Romano confirmed talks have advanced.
Manchester City had pondered a move for Kerkez, although they are not considered in the race as Liverpool are ready to seal the move for the Premier League wide man. As things stand, Kerkez will be the likely replacement for experienced full-back Andy Robertson, who might have come to the end of his cycle at the club.
Kerkez is known for his speech and attacking intent while playing from a left-back position, as he seems like the perfect signing for Liverpool. Arne Slot has experienced a solid time since becoming their manager last summer, as he won the Premier League title in his debut season at the club.
He will stamp his authority on signings, and it appears he has gone for an attacking intent when recruiting his full-backs. Kerkez seems to fit the idea of improving a team relying heavily on its attackers, as he can fulfill the role in the long run, much like Robertson.
