Both Liverpool and Manchester United are looking for young, talented players as left-backs and left wing-backs. They acknowledge that Andy Robertson is a declining player and has struggled to cope this season, becoming a defensive hole for the game.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are looking for a player who can play the left wing-back role to perfection in Ruben Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 formation, and Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkes is believed to be on both clubs’ lists.
According to The i Paper, the Hungarian left-back is expected to move to Liverpool after kicking off an invitation from Manchester United. And although a move to Anfield is imminent, it is likely that a move will not actually happen until the summer.
In the winter transfer window, Bournemouth have secured the services of Argentina U-23 defender Julio Soler, who will replace the 21-year-old Hungarian defender, but they have also refused to let go of their main man mid-season and have reportedly had to wait six months to make a move.
The young side-back tried out for the Premier League in the summer of 2023 from AZ Alkmaar, but has already been on the pitch for over 50 games. This season, he has further improved his reputation and is a driving force behind a club that is in contention for the top flight.
Will the Hungarian defender, who has the potential to be one of the best in Europe, be able to fight alongside 24-year-old midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, who is also the captain of the national team…?
