The season is not even over yet, but Liverpool are making moves in the transfer market.
The Reds were the best team in the country in the 2024/25 campaign and deservedly won the Premier League. Arne Slot deserves massive credit for achieving that in his very first season.
Now, the Dutchman knows that Liverpool will have to be even better next term to retain their crown, and to do that, they will need new players.
Liverpool are close to signing Jeremie Frimpong, and they are now pushing to land another player very, very soon.
Fabrizio Romano shares update on Liverpool’s pursuit of Milos Kerkez
Milos Kerkez has been a revelation at Bournemouth this season.
The Hungary international has impressed under Andoni Iraola, and he has been linked with several big clubs over the last few months.
Liverpool made Kerkez their top target at left-back several months ago, and after sealing the Frimpong deal, they are in talks to land the Bournemouth man as well.
iNews revealed on Tuesday that Manchester City are now rivalling Liverpool in the race to sign Kerkez this summer.
Pep Guardiola’s side battling your club for a player is often a worry, but in this case, Liverpool fans can relax as Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Kerkez is ‘very keen’ on a move to Anfield.
The journalist said on the Market Madness podcast: “Yeah, Liverpool are leading the race, They are in very positive contact with the agent of the player, who is the same agent who represents Federico Chiesa. So, he has a very good relationship with Liverpool.
“The player would be very keen on the move, conversations are positive also in this case. But, it’s not at the final stages yet, it’s not done yet. We need to be more patient than the Jeremie Frimpong move, which has been a very fast deal.
“In this case, there are more clubs involved, which is why Liverpool are working on it, advancing but are careful till the end because there are other clubs looking for a left-back in the market. So, we have to see what happens there.
“What I can guarantee is that Kerkez would be very happy to join Liverpool. The message from the player’s camp to the club has already arrived. They are discussing personal terms. There has already been direct contact between Liverpool and Bournemouth to discuss the price tag. The conversation is ongoing.”
Troy Deeney’s comments on Milos Kerkez should excite Liverpool fans
Very few left-backs in the Premier League have impressed us as much as Kerkez this season.
The Hungarian has been solid on the ball, excellent with his crosses, and the way he drives forward on the left flank has been a joy to watch.
Troy Deeney has been really impressed with Kerkez this season, so much so that he has branded the left-back as ‘one of the best’ players in the world in his position.
He said in March: “For me, he is one of the best left-backs in world football already. He is exceptional with the ball and without it, runs all day and has loads of room to grow.
“It is not surprising that Liverpool have been linked to him.”
