Liverpool increases efforts to sign Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez as Manchester United also shows interest

Liverpool is intensifying its efforts to sign 21-year-old Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, amid competition from Manchester United. Both clubs have been informed that the transfer fee will be around £40 million. Liverpool initially targeted Kerkez in the summer and is now prioritizing his signing for 2025. United's new manager has also identified Kerkez as a key target for their left wing-back position. In addition to Kerkez, Liverpool is considering Rayan Ait-Nouri as a potential replacement for Andy Robertson, though Ait-Nouri's higher price makes Kerkez a more appealing option.
