Liverpool’s pursuit of a dynamic left-back intensifies as club officials finalize a three-man shortlist while a standout Bournemouth talent leads the race.
Liverpool prioritizes a left-back upgrade ahead of the summer transfer window. The 30-year-old option, Andy Robertson, delivered just one assist in 37 appearances across all competitions. His struggle has sparked an urgent need for reinvention at Anfield.
Arne Slot has greenlighted a three-man shortlist for the coveted left-back role. Reliable sources reveal that the shortlist earned a nod from the club, with one Bournemouth standout emerging as the front-runner.
While Kostas Tsimikas offers dependable cover for the Scotland international, the management insists on boosting quality on the left side. The search aims to inject fresh energy into Liverpool’s backline.
Among the candidates, Milos Kerkez shines the brightest. The 21-year-old Bournemouth talent has impressed with a standout assist against Tottenham, bolstering his reputation as a future star for Anfield.
Club officials plan to open negotiations in the coming weeks. Their genuine interest might secure the player for a fee of around €40–45 million. The transfer discussions will intensify as summer nears.
Anfield retains a strategic advantage thanks to guidance from its sporting director. His previous role at Bournemouth helped facilitate Kerkez’s move, and that experience could prove decisive now.
Other targets also surface in transfer chatter, yet Liverpool’s focus remains on a long-term solution for their left flank. Fans eagerly anticipate further updates as the summer window promises major shake-ups at Anfield.
