Liverpool will have to face competition from Juventus for Bournemouth star Milos Kerkez this summer, with the player’s entourage already talking to the Italian giants.
That’s according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, [via Sky Sports Switzerland](https://www.sky-sport.ch/fr/articles/hugo-ekitike-milos-kerkez-darwin-nunez-aymeric-laporte-anguissa-voici-les-infos-transferts-de-la-semaine/), who says Juventus are pushing to line up Kerkez as a replacement for Andrea Cambiaso.
He explains that Juventus are wary of Cambiaso departing amid Manchester City’s interest in him and finding a replacement is a ‘priority option’.
Thus, they have started negotiations with Kerkez’s representatives, through sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, who considers Kerkez as a player with ‘all the qualities’ he’s looking for in a left-back.
Liverpool are in the running too as they seek a replacement for Andy Robertson but the good relationship between Fali Ramadani, Kerkez’s agent, and Juventus, could make the difference.
Liverpool are also not interested into entering an auction for the player as they tend to avoid such transfer battles.
The biggest issue is convincing Bournemouth, who are expecting to receive at least €45m for the Hungarian. That would given them a huge capital gain, recouping no less than three times their initial outlay.
It may be up to Kerkez to choose between Liverpool and Juventus, with the Italians making moves to become favourites.
