Liverpool are actively monitoring Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Reds see Kerkez as a strong option for their defensive rebuild. However, no deal is close, and negotiations remain in the early stages.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed Liverpool’s interest but emphasized that nothing is guaranteed yet. “It’s still early. It will take weeks or months before we understand his next move,” Romano said.
Despite this, Liverpool are keeping close tabs on the 21-year-old defender. Kerkez has impressed in Premier League season since joining Bournemouth. Kerkez is having an excellent track record at Bournemouth this season, alongside 2 goals already in his pocket, according to Transfermarkt.

Milos Kerkez an effective fit for Liverpool’s squad
His aggressive style, pace, and attacking instincts make him a perfect fit for Liverpool’s system. Arne Slot, Liverpool’s manager, values players who contribute offensively and defensively.
Liverpool need competition for Andy Robertson, who has struggled with injuries this season. Kostas Tsimikas has filled in but lacks consistency. Kerkez could provide a long-term solution in the left-back position.

Bournemouth will demand a significant fee for their talented defender. Kerkez is under contract, along with his club transfer amount, in negotiations. Liverpool must decide whether to pursue him or consider alternative options.
Arne Slot will have a major say in Liverpool’s transfer plans. He will assess the squad and recommend key signings. The club will focus on strengthening defensively while maintaining their attacking prowess.
Kerkez’s decision will depend on Liverpool’s offer and playing time guarantees. The young defender wants regular football to continue his development. If Liverpool make a formal approach, negotiations could take weeks or months.
For now, Liverpool remain interested but patient. The club will evaluate all options before making a final decision on Kerkez’s potential transfer.
