Liverpool are one of many clubs linked with an interest in AFC Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez ahead of the January transfer window.

However, the Cherries' stance on a winter deal has now been outlined.

According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Bournemouth are instead preparing for a summer sale.



The Premier League club are linked with an interest in Argentine left-back Julio Soler, who has also been linked with a move to Anfield.

"Manchester United and Liverpool looked at Soler over the summer, he's a very good player," he told Rousing the Kop.

"United have signed Diego Leon now so their interest has waned, I think Liverpool are still looking at him but I'm told that Bournemouth are trying to do it [sign Soler] in January.

"That doesn't mean Bournemouth will be open to letting Kerkez go in January, as they're expecting him to move on in the summer for a hefty profit.

No club is confirmed favourite as yet, we know he's on Liverpool's list, but no more than that at this stage and I'm not convinced Richard Hughes will want to do a lot of business at Bournemouth.

"Unless the deal is 100 per cent right for Liverpool, I don't think he'll pursue it.

That's not to say Kerkez won't be."

Elsewhere, Atalanta's boss Gian Piero Gasperini is 'convinced' that forward Charles De Ketelaere will play for either Liverpool or Real Madid in the future, according to Italian outfit La Repubblica.
