With the January transfer window fast approaching, Liverpool could be gearing up for a busy winter. Despite their strong position at the top of the league, the Reds still have areas in the squad that need reinforcement. They missed out on signing a center-back during the summer and also failed in their pursuit of a holding midfielder, with Arne Slot attempting to bring in Martin Zubimendi.
As the season unfolds, left-back has emerged as another problem area for Liverpool. Andy Robertson has struggled to find his best form, and with Kostas Tsimikas proving inconsistent and rarely delivering standout performances, the need for a long-term replacement is becoming evident. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano identified Milos Kerkez as a potential target for the Reds.
Liverpool keeping an eye for the Hungarian
Both Liverpool and Manchester United are showing interest in Milos Kerkez. Since joining Bournemouth last year, the 21-year-old has played 44 games for the club, earning £30,000 per week. With plenty of room for growth and development, Kerkez should be able to adapt to life at Liverpool with ease.
Fabrizio Romano explained that Manchester United are actively seeking a new left-back and have been monitoring Milos Kerkez at Bournemouth even before Ruben Amorim’s appointment. He added that Liverpool are also keeping an eye on the player, with Liverpool’s director, Richard Hughes, well aware of Kerkez’s excellent skills and qualities. Romano confirmed that Liverpool appreciate the 21-year-old, but he emphasized that it’s too early to say whether they will pursue a move for him.
Replacing Andy Robertson would be a formidable challenge for any left-back. Robertson has been one of the Premier League’s top full-backs for years, but signs of a decline have started to show. This season, he hasn’t been at his usual best, and the statistics indicate that Milos Kerkez could potentially be an upgrade.

At just 21, Kerkez has significant room to grow and improve, and he should adapt to life at Liverpool with relative ease. Arne Slot, familiar with Kerkez from his time in the Eredivisie, and the Hungary international’s professional connection with Dominik Szoboszlai, could further ease his transition. This is certainly a situation to watch closely as Liverpool look to reshape their defence and potentially find a successor for Robertson.
