Liverpool are expected to be active in the summer transfer window as Arne Slot aims to make key additions after his first season at the club.
Slot took over a strong squad from Jurgen Klopp and initially felt no need for major changes. He has implemented some adjustments to the system, which have proven successful.
However, the situation may change next summer. Slot needs to rejuvenate the squad, with several players potentially leaving to create space for new signings.
One player on Liverpool’s radar is AFC Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Kerkez is anticipated to depart the Cherries in the summer window to join a top club.
The 21-year-old is focused on his current project at Bournemouth for the remainder of the season, but he is likely to move next season.
He switched agents in January, and his intentions are clear—he wants to play for a big club. Kerkez has been outstanding this season for Bournemouth, attracting interest from various clubs.
The Hungary left-back has made 27 Premier League starts, scoring two goals and assisting four.
Many clubs are interested in signing Kerkez, including Liverpool, who have been closely monitoring his progress.
His agent previously brought Federico Chiesa to Liverpool, and Richard Hughes could play a significant role in facilitating his move to Anfield this summer.
Liverpool currently have Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas as excellent left-backs, and one of them may be sold if Kerkez joins.
Robertson, 30, has been inconsistent at times this season, but he remains Slot’s first choice. He is under contract until 2026, and Liverpool might consider cashing in on him.
