Liverpool have been performing sensationally well in the domestic season and are on their way to the Premier League title. Currently, the club are first in the points table with 70 points in 29 matches. They have won 21 matches, drawn seven, and lost one game so far this season. The Reds will definitely want to continue their Premier League form in the ongoing season and hence the upcoming summer transfer window will be a time where they might look at various areas of the field to strengthen.
The left-back spot might be one area that the Reds would be looking to strengthen. Andy Robertson, who is currently 31 years old, has been an integral part of the Reds’ team for quite some time and he has struggled this season. On the other hand, the same can be said about Kostas Tsimikas, who is 28 years old. Therefore, Arne Slot and his side are in need of an upgrade in that position.
Liverpool want to sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth
David Ornstein of Athletic, as relayed by Give Me Sport, has meanwhile provided an update stating that Liverpool have been displaying interest in signing Milos Kerkez, the 21-year-old left-back playing for Bournemouth. However, he has also revealed that the Reds would need to sell one of their current left-backs in order to facilitate the singing. Kerkez has conceded 35 goals and kept six clean sheets in 29 matches in the Premier League 2024/2025 season and has also scored two goals.
He embodies the modern full-back archetype with flair and tenacity. Known for his blistering pace and agile dribbling, Kerkez surges down the flank, delivering pinpoint crosses that trouble defences. His attacking flair is perfectly on display, with a knack for creating chances with creativity and technical qualities.
Defensively, the 21-year-old is aggressive and tireless, excelling in one-on-one duels and recoveries, though his tackling could sharpen. The Hungarian’s versatility: shifting between left-back and wing-back pairs with his infectious energy, making him a standout. With a multilingual edge and youthful hunger, Kerkez is a rising star with world-class potential. Fabrizio Romano has reported exclusively to Give Me Sport that Bournemouth might want a transfer fee of €45m (£38m) for his sale in the summer.
They will have a shortlist or potential targets, obviously. The likes of Nuno Mendes and Alphonso Davies were highly thought of at Anfield but both have now signed new contracts. Kerkez was and remains a strong option, who Bournemouth will be open to doing business for if their financial expectations are met. This one definitely stands a chance but the price is likely to be above what Liverpool would normally pay for a full-back – plus I’m sure like they will have other options; he will have multiple suitors – so we’ll have to see how it develops. Don’t forget they already have two top level left-backs in Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas so you imagine one of them will need to go if another senior player is to arrive in that position.

Signing Milos Kerkez in the 2025 summer transfer window could rejuvenate Liverpool’s left-back position. The 21-year-old Bournemouth star offers pace, attacking flair, and defensive grit, making him a long-term successor to the ageing Andy Robertson.
His Premier League experience reduces adaptation risks, while his versatility suits Arne Slot’s system. With Richard Hughes’ prior connection easing negotiations, Liverpool should pursue this £40m+ investment for squad depth and future-proofing—assuming key contracts like Salah’s are secured first.
