AFC Bournemouth are reportedly preparing for life without Liverpool target Milos Kerkez ahead of the summer transfer window opening.

The ECHO understands that Liverpool are interested in Kerkez while keeping tabs on a number of other potential options ahead of the forthcoming transfer window, which many believe will see Arne Slot overhaul his squad.

And now The Mirror suggest they could have a chance of signing the full-back as Bournemouth are preparing for Kerkez's exit in the summer with Liverpool the frontrunners for his signature.

Manchester City are also deemed to be in with an outside chance of signing the defender and the double interest has led Bournemouth to resign themselves to losing him.

As such, the Cherries are preparing to pull the trigger on Julio Soler starting on the left flank after he arrived from Lanus in January.

They are still on the hunt for defensive reinforcement though.

Wolverhampton Wanderers' Hugo Bueno impressed on loan at Feyenoord in the Champions League and is considered an option for Bournemouth albeit the West Midlands club are looking to keep the 22-year-old.

Real Madrid's Fran Garcia has made 42 appearances for Los Blancos this season and is an optimistic target for the Cherries.

However, his price tag of £20m could reportedly put them off the deal.

Speaking earlier this week, Jamie Carragher called for Liverpool to make a number of signings this summer.

“If you look at Liverpool this season – this is not the manager’s squad, it is Jurgen Klopp’s,” Carragher told the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet.

“Arne Slot doesn’t trust the squad.

When people talk about Liverpool at the end of the season, their style during the winter is not the same and is not consistent like the rest of the season.

"Slot plays the same players every week.

Liverpool need another center-back to really push Konate.

The same also applies in central midfield with Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch.”
