Liverpool nears £40m deal for left-back Milos Kerkez

Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has expressed confidence in his position amid ongoing speculation about potential signings to replace him, particularly with Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez being a leading target. Robertson, who is in his eighth season with Liverpool, acknowledged the rumors and stated that he thrives on competition, emphasizing his commitment to the club despite some recent performance criticisms. As Liverpool steps up its pursuit of Kerkez, who is viewed as a long-term replacement, the club faces competition from several top teams, with Bournemouth reportedly unwilling to sell for less than £40 million. Meanwhile, Robertson is also on the verge of becoming Scotland's third-highest men's cap holder, highlighting his ongoing significance both at club and international levels. The situation reflects the dynamics of the Premier League, where player positions can be constantly scrutinized and challenged. Liverpool's management is keen on reinforcing the squad, with Robertson's future and performance remaining pivotal to their plans.
