Liverpool In Negotiations for Milos Kerkez

Liverpool is in advanced talks to sign Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, who is the club's top target as they look to bolster their defense. The club has received permission from Bournemouth to negotiate with Kerkez, who is reportedly interested in moving to a top club despite being content at his current team. Under new coach Arne Slot, Liverpool is aiming to strengthen their left-back position, particularly with Andy Robertson aging and Kostas Tsimikas not seen as a long-term solution. Additionally, Liverpool is preparing for potential contract issues with key players like Mohamed Salah, who may attract interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Europe. The Reds have also expressed interest in PSV's Ricardo Pepi and Benfica's Alvaro Carreras as part of their broader transfer strategy. This proactive approach comes amid Lyon's financial troubles, which may open opportunities for Liverpool to strengthen their squad further.
