Liverpool are looking to strengthen their defense ahead of next season, with reports suggesting they are ready to make a move for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez.
The Reds are expected to bid around £41 million for the Hungarian international as they prepare for possible departures in their backline, as per Fichajes .
Andy Robertson has been a key player for Liverpool for years, but his future remains uncertain.
The Scottish full-back has faced criticism this season, and with Liverpool adjusting their tactical approach under new management, the club may look for a younger alternative.
Why Liverpool want Kerkez?
Kerkez has been a standout performer for Bournemouth, known for his energy and attacking runs.
His aggressive playing style fits well with Liverpool’s traditional full-back role, making him a strong candidate to succeed Robertson.

However, Arne Slot’s system requires full-backs to play more centrally at times, which would be a new challenge for the 21-year-old.
Aside from left-back, Liverpool could also see major changes in defense this summer.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation remains uncertain, with reports linking him to Real Madrid. Virgil van Dijk is also in the final year of his deal, while Ibrahima Konate’s contract is nearing its last 12 months.
Meanwhile, Joe Gomez and Kostas Tsimikas have also been linked with possible moves away.
With so many question marks in defense, Liverpool’s summer transfer window could be one of the busiest in recent years.
If they do move for Kerkez, it could signal the start of a defensive rebuild at Anfield.
