TBR Football understands that Liverpool are ready to move on from Kostas Tsimikas this summer and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is a player of interest.
The Reds have been watching several left-backs in recent months with TBR Football revealing Liverpool’s interest in Fulham defender Antonee Robinson.
Ajax’s Jorrel Hato is another player who Liverpool have watched with scouts having recently watched him in action for Ajax against Go Ahead Eagles.
The Bournemouth defender completes their current three-man list of targets and Slot has just been told how much a move for the Hungarian might cost.
Bournemouth are ready to sell Milos Kerkez
Bournemouth are ready to allow Milos Kerkez to leave this summer and will be looking for a figure of around £50 million for the 21-year-old, sources have told TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
The defender has made a big impression on the South Coast following his move from AZ Alkmaar during the summer of 2023
TBR Football can now confirm that Kerkez is also someone that Liverpool appreciate and are looking closely at the Hungarian.
However, they could face competition to sign him as his former club AC Milan are also keeping close tabs on his progress.
Kostas Tsimikas, who cost Liverpool £11.7 million, looks set to leave the club in the summer with the club’s new left-back competition with Andrew Robertson.
The Italian giants could look to bring him back to Italy – if they part company with Theo Hernandez this summer.
How do Milos Kerkez, Antonee Robinson and Jorrel Hato compare?
Robinson looks to be the standout candidate when looking at the stats as he leads the way in most departments.
The United States international has proven himself to be the complete full-back this season at Fulham being strong going forward and in the defensive phases.
Minutes | Cross% | xA | Progressive passes | Defensive actions | Defensive duels% | Aerial % | Pogressive carries | |
Kerkez | 2613 | 36.4 | 54.0 | 47.3 | 48.9 | 48.9 | 29.8 | 81.1 |
Robinson | 2620 | 81.6 | 85.9 | 77.9 | 82.2 | 50.3 | 83.2 | 85.9 |
Hato | 1887 | 76.6 | 74.7 | 42.3 | 47.6 | 93.9 | 81.9 | 39.1 |
However, at 27, he is considerably older than Hato and Kerkez who are 18 and 21 respectively and the Reds may favour going for a younger option.
