Liverpool Eyes Bade and Kerkez Amid Transfer Plans

Liverpool's transfer strategy is heating up, with the club reportedly on the verge of signing Sevilla defender Loic Bade for a bargain fee of €25m as a strategic addition to strengthen their squad mid-season. Additionally, they are keen on Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, having made a £35m bid to bolster their left-back position amid Andy Robertson's inconsistent form. Amidst these moves, Liverpool is also preparing for a potential future without Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires next summer, with potential replacements including Lyon's Rayan Cherki and Eintracht Frankfurt's Omar Marmoush. Jurgen Klopp's past transfer decisions are under scrutiny, notably his interest in Brazilian Antony, who ultimately joined Manchester United and was considered a flop, highlighting the importance of careful recruitment. With Salah's prolific record, Liverpool is keen to maintain their competitive edge across the Premier League and Champions League, where they currently lead.
