A recent update from Fabrizio Romano has given Liverpool fans renewed hope that their club may secure one of their top transfer targets this summer.
Reports suggest that despite Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold potentially signing new contracts, a defensive reshuffle could be on the cards at Anfield during the summer transfer window.
One of the most talked-about potential signings for Liverpool is Milos Kerkez, a player Romano has highlighted as “one to watch” in the upcoming transfer period.
What Did Romano Say About Kerkez?
Romano shared an update on X this afternoon regarding the Bournemouth left-back, who is expected to leave the club this summer. Liverpool is reportedly one of the many clubs interested in the 21-year-old.
Romano posted: “Milos Kerkez is expected to leave and seek a new challenge in the summer, as reported in recent months. Liverpool is among the clubs tracking the left-back, who signed with Fali Ramadani as his new agent this year.”
Liverpool’s Potential Advantage in Signing Kerkez
When a player changes agents, it often sparks further speculation about a potential transfer, and that’s particularly true for Kerkez.
The defender’s new agent also represents Federico Chiesa, who joined Liverpool from Juventus last August, which creates a connection between the player and the club.
Another link comes through Richard Hughes, Liverpool’s current sporting director, who was responsible for bringing Kerkez to Bournemouth while working at the Vitality Stadium. He now has the opportunity to bring the Hungarian to Anfield.
While Hughes’ tenure at Liverpool has had mixed reviews from fans due to unresolved contract issues and a quiet transfer window so far, signing Kerkez could significantly strengthen Liverpool’s left-back position. Since 2020, Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas have been the only senior options for that role.
With the possibility of Kerkez leaving Bournemouth if the club fails to qualify for Europe, could Anfield be his next destination?
