The Liverpool, current undisputed leader of the Premier League and the only team with a perfect score in the UEFA Champions League, does not lower its guard in its ambition to conquer all titles this season. Arne Slot has identified a top priority to maintain dominance: strengthen the left-back position. Milos Kerkez, a young defender from Bournemouth, is the club's main target for the winter transfer market.

With Andrew Robertson as the only reliable left-back in the squad, Liverpool is seeking an alternative that not only provides defensive solidity but also offensive projection. Kerkez, at just 21 years old, has excelled in the Premier League due to his consistency and versatility. In 46 appearances for Bournemouth, the Hungarian has shown his ability to perform both defensively and offensively, contributing with one goal and three assists.

Bournemouth won't make his exit easy

However, the signing won't be straightforward. Bournemouth has valued the player at 40 million pounds (around 48 million euros), and Liverpool will have to compete with Manchester United, another club interested in the promising full-back. Furthermore, Anfield's team is keeping an eye on Algerian Rayan Ait-Nouri as a possible alternative. The Wolverhampton player has also attracted interest, but his price could exceed 50 million euros.

Kerkez's arrival would be a strategic move for Liverpool, not only to cover a key position but also to add depth to a squad that aims to remain competitive in all competitions. The upcoming weeks will be decisive in determining whether the club can finalize this deal and strengthen its defense for the second half of the season.
