Liverpool is reportedly prioritizing Milos Kerkez as their top target for the upcoming summer transfer window to bolster their left-back position. According to The Telegraph, while Liverpool has scouted Wolves’ Rayan Ait-Nouri on multiple occasions, the club appears to be favoring Kerkez for a move this summer. The Hungarian full-back, who joined Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar in 2023, has impressed in his debut season in the Premier League, contributing two goals and six assists.
With Ait-Nouri’s situation at Wolves looking more complicated due to the club’s plans to extend his contract, Liverpool’s attention is turning more to Kerkez. Bournemouth is reportedly seeking around £45 million for the 20-year-old, a price that manager Andoni Iraola appears open to negotiating. Iraola has commented on the uncertainty surrounding player departures, stating, “We don’t really know what is going to happen in the summer… we are still focused on other things, but right now all the players are ours and, if nothing happens, they will continue to be ours next season also.”
As the summer window approaches, Liverpool’s pursuit of Kerkez seems to be intensifying, with the Reds eager to add a quality left-back to their squad as they aim to defend their Premier League title.
