With Andy Robertson struggling for form and Trent Alexander-Arnold linked with a move to Real Madrid, Liverpool may be preparing for a significant shake-up in their defense.
Arne Slot has enjoyed a successful first season at the helm, with his team positioned to potentially win the Premier League title. Despite limited spending, the Dutch manager has revitalized the squad he inherited from Jurgen Klopp, taking their performance to new heights.
However, the left-back position remains a concern for Slot, as Robertson’s form has dipped this season. Additionally, with growing speculation surrounding Alexander-Arnold’s future, Liverpool may need to reconsider their full-back options altogether.
One potential target is Milos Kerkez, the Hungarian left-back from Bournemouth, who has impressed under manager Andoni Iraola. Football agent and former coach Richard Henczi believes Kerkez is ready for a step up, stating, “If he wants to go to Liverpool, he will go to Liverpool. He has everything to be among the top left-backs in the world, but his next move will be crucial.”
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has also voiced support for reinforcing the position, with Wolves’ Rayan Aït-Nouri emerging as another potential target. With the summer transfer window on the horizon, it seems likely that Liverpool will make a significant addition to their defense.
