Liverpool’s attention for this season has now shifted to the summer transfer window, following their Premier League title win. According to David Ornstein, Liverpool is keen to sign Milos Kerkez, a rising star at Bournemouth. The Hungarian left-back has impressed many with his performances this season, making him a top target for the Reds.
With Liverpool securing the title in late April, the focus has quickly turned to building a stronger squad for next season. Under new manager Arne Slot, the team has performed solidly, even after a challenging Champions League run. Ornstein has suggested that Liverpool’s primary objective this summer is to strengthen the left-back position, with Kerkez at the top of their wishlist.
As Ornstein mentioned on the Sky Sports Back Pages podcast, “At the top of the list is Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth.” Kerkez has been a key figure in Bournemouth’s defense this season, starting every league match.
The 21-year-old has also contributed five assists and two goals from left-back, showcasing his attacking potential. This form has made him an attractive prospect for Liverpool, who are in need of a long-term replacement for Andy Robertson, who has been a mainstay in their squad for several years.
The move would likely depend on the future of either Robertson or Kostas Tsimikas. Ornstein noted that the transfer would “probably require either Andy Robertson, or more likely, Tsimikas to leave.” Liverpool’s left-back position could be in for a shift if Kerkez arrives, signaling a potential reshuffle in the squad.
Alongside the pursuit of Kerkez, Liverpool may also consider bolstering their right-back options. With Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez already in the fold, the need for a right-back might become more pressing if Tsimikas exits.
With the financial resources available following their title win, it seems likely that Liverpool will make significant moves in the summer transfer window. The addition of a “world-class” talent like Kerkez could help Liverpool maintain their momentum as they aim for even greater success next season.
