Following the near-finalization of Jeremie Frimpong’s transfer, Liverpool are already making moves to secure another summer signing.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold expected to leave for Real Madrid on a free transfer once his contract expires, the club acted swiftly to fill the right wing-back role. Now, they’re turning their attention to the opposite flank.
Milos Kerkez Now in Focus
Reports suggest that Liverpool have reached out to Bournemouth regarding their left-back Milos Kerkez. According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, the Reds are eager to complete the deal this summer.
Should things not work out with Kerkez, Liverpool have a backup plan—Ajax defender Jorrel Hato. But for now, things are looking promising, especially with Fabrizio Romano confirming that Kerkez is enthusiastic about joining the Anfield side.
Who is Milos Kerkez?
Kerkez joined Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar—where new Liverpool manager Arne Slot previously coached—during the summer of 2023. Since then, he has made 72 appearances, scoring twice and providing eight assists. The 21-year-old also plays alongside Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai for Hungary’s national team.
Implications for Kostas Tsimikas
Kerkez’s potential arrival could spell the end for fan-favorite Kostas Tsimikas at Liverpool. Known for scoring the decisive penalty in the 2022 FA Cup Final, Tsimikas has made 114 appearances and registered 18 assists during his time at the club.
While Andy Robertson remains the top left-back choice despite some decline, Liverpool appear to be preparing for the future with this latest move
