Liverpool is currently leading the race to sign Bournemouth’s highly rated left back Milos Querquez, according to Fabrizio Romano on Givemesport’s Market Madness Podcast.
The Merseyside Club is trying to bolster its full-back options ahead of its 2025/26 campaign, which has been communicated to advanced debate.
Arne Slot is expected to oversee tactical evolution at Anfield, with the recruiting team prioritizing dynamic fullbacks who can contribute defensively and offensively.
Liverpool is also focusing on Kerkes, in addition to Bayer Leberkusen’s interest in Jeremy Fripon, who also focuses on Kerkes to add depth and competition to his left flank.
Liverpool has a good relationship with Kerquez’s agent
Representative of the same agent as Juventus Winger Federico Chiesa, Kerquez caught the eye of the scouts despite his younger age with his high-energy display and tactical maturity.
The former AZ Alkmaar talent joined Bournemouth last summer and quickly adapted to Premier League football and became a regular under Andniiraola.
Romano claims that the Reds have a very good relationship with his agent, and that a move to Anfield this summer is likely.
Speaking in the market on the MADNESS podcast, Romano revealed.
“Liverpool is leading the race with very positive contact with the same agent, the player, representing Federico Chiesa.
“It’s a very good relationship with Liverpool, players will be very enthusiastic about moving, so the conversation in this case is also positive.
“It’s not yet finalized, it’s not yet completed, so we have to be more patient compared to Jeremie Frimpong, which was a very fast trade.”
Arne Slot needs defensive depth
Andy Robertson, still reliable, is facing a setback in injuries, urging the Reds to explore young options that can develop into long-term successors.
The deal is not yet in its final stages, but Liverpool is optimistic about securing Kerkes’ signature.
The addition of a world-class potential fullback like Kerkez is a signature statement from the Reds, ready to build a dynasty under the club’s slot leadership.
Liverpool-related news shows that Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers is not keen on moving to Liverpool and is likely to remain at his current club this summer.
