Liverpool’s interest in Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez continues to grow, with the club closely monitoring his progress this season.
While a move for the 21-year-old is not expected during the January transfer window, the Premier League giants are set to make a move in the summer. Kerkez has quickly established himself as one of the most promising left-backs in the Premier League, impressing with his performances at Bournemouth and catching the attention of top clubs, including Liverpool.
Kerkez has been an ever-present figure in Bournemouth’s starting lineup this season, playing a key role in helping the club rise to seventh place in the Premier League, just one point behind Manchester City in fourth. His consistency and ability to perform under pressure have made him a standout player at the Vitality Stadium. Liverpool, who are planning for the future, see the left-back position as a key area to strengthen, and Kerkez has emerged as a top target.
With the future of Andy Robertson at Anfield in question and Kostas Tsimikas no longer seen as a long-term successor, Liverpool has been actively searching for a new left-back. Kerkez, with his youth and potential, represents an ideal option for the club’s future. While the player’s performances have garnered significant interest, it’s expected that any move for Kerkez will be revisited in the summer, rather than during the winter transfer window.

According to sources, Liverpool’s interest in the young Hungarian has been steadily increasing, with the club aware of his rising stock. The club has been keeping a close eye on Kerkez, with plans to assess their options in the summer. It is believed that with the left-back position in need of long-term reinforcement, Kerkez could be the player to step in and provide valuable depth, especially as Liverpool looks to maintain competitiveness at the top of the Premier League.
While Bournemouth is unlikely to let Kerkez leave midway through the season, Liverpool will likely revisit their pursuit of the player in the summer, when a deal may become more feasible. Bournemouth will be eager to retain their key asset for the remainder of the season, especially as they aim to push for a top-half finish. Liverpool, on the other hand, is content to wait until the summer transfer window to make a more concerted effort to land Kerkez.
In other news, Liverpool’s Jayden Danns is attracting interest from Championship clubs, with several sides eager to secure his services. However, Liverpool’s focus for now is on their long-term plans for the left-back position, with Kerkez firmly on their radar for the upcoming transfer window. With Robertson’s future uncertain, Kerkez could very well be the player to take over the reins at Anfield in the not-too-distant future.
