<p>Per <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/03/04/liverpool-transfer-news-arne-slot-bournemouth-milos-kerkez/" target="_blank"><em>The Telegraph</em></a>, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/milos-kerkez-dean-huijsen-ideal-liverpool-defensive-rebuild-richard-hughes-bournemouth-transfer-raid/blt80f067070c6c921b" target="_blank">Reds will go after Kerkez in the summer</a>, for whom Bournemouth are expected to demand a fee in the region of £40 million ($50m). The Merseyside club have identified the young full-back as a long-term replacement for Andy Robertson.
