Liverpool are on the verge of making another signing in this summer’s transfer window, with final talks expected in the coming days.
Following their 20th league title under new head coach Arne Slot, who exceeded expectations in his debut season, spirits are high at Anfield. With success at home and ambitions in Europe, the club is actively strengthening the squad.
Despite losing Trent Alexander-Arnold earlier this summer, Liverpool acted swiftly by signing Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen. They’ve also added promising Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi to increase squad depth. More changes are likely, with players like Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez, Harvey Elliott, Joe Gomez, and Jarell Quansah potentially heading for the exit.
Liverpool’s recruitment focus is on four main roles: striker, winger, attacking midfielder, and left-back. Two players remain key targets—Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.
Negotiations for Wirtz have been ongoing, but the Reds are hesitant to meet Leverkusen’s full valuation and are hoping to lower the price.
Meanwhile, discussions over Kerkez are advancing well. The 20-year-old left-back impressed at Bournemouth last season and is viewed as the perfect long-term successor to Andy Robertson.
On Tuesday, reputable journalist David Ornstein reported via The Athletic that Liverpool, Bournemouth, and Kerkez’s representatives will meet this week, with confidence high that an agreement will be finalized soon.
Bournemouth, anticipating Kerkez’s departure, are already eyeing Rennes defender Adrien Truffert as a replacement—though that deal hinges on Kerkez’s move to Anfield being completed.
With talks moving quickly, Liverpool look set to announce their third new signing of the summer in the near future
