Liverpool do not have long to go before the January transfer window closes.
So far, the Reds have been among the quietest of the Premier League clubs when it comes to new signings, with no new arrivals being added to Arne Slot's squad.
There is still time for that to change, though, with Liverpool having until 11pm on Monday to complete their transfer business.
Whether any new signings are made, though, remains to be seen, but one area of the squad has seen several rumours generate headlines.
Plenty of reports have claimed that Liverpool could strengthen their defence before the transfer window closes.
However, if the Reds want Kerkez as their future left-back, and want to beat United to a deal, making a move in January may be necessary in a dream scenario.
Another defender to be linked with Liverpool in recent days is Jorrel Hato
This fuelled speculation that the Reds were planning to make a move for the left-back before the window closes.
The 18-year-old has already confirmed that he is not expecting to leave Ajax before the transfer window closes
While a move in the next few days does not appear to be on the cards, it remains to be seen if Liverpool will look to bring Hato to Merseyside in the summer.
Liverpool's dream defence after January transfer window closes: Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, Jarell Quansah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Bradley, Milos Kerkez, Andy Robertson, Kostas Tsimikas.
