Following the signing of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, Liverpool may be forced to offload a **21-year-old defender** this summer, according to reports.
### Why the Sale Is Necessary:
Premier League **squad registration rules** limit the number of non-homegrown and senior players over the age of 21. With several new arrivals — including Frimpong, Kerkez, Wirtz, and goalkeeper Armin Pecsi — Liverpool must balance their squad numbers.
### Who Could Be Sold?
While the report does not name the player directly, speculation suggests fringe defenders like **Sepp van den Berg** or **Jarell Quansah** could be at risk, especially if new signings reduce their game time.
Selling or loaning out a young defender would free up space for new additions and keep the club within regulatory limits.
### What’s Next for Liverpool?
* **Medical dates** for other signings are expected to be confirmed next week.
* Reports suggest **another incoming transfer** is close following the Kerkez deal.
* Meanwhile, rival clubs like **Chelsea** are monitoring Liverpool players, with one star reportedly given a **£50m price tag** amid Aston Villa and Brighton interest.
Liverpool’s summer rebuild is in full swing — but it comes with tough decisions on who stays and who must go.
