That position should take care of itself as Liverpool are also in the market for a new centre-back and a left-back, as Andy Robertson has struggled at Anfield this season.

Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez has been tipped to replace the Scottish defender on Merseyside and when it comes to acquiring a new centre-back, Dean Huijsen is also on Liverpool’s list, and the Premier League leaders may now have to pick between the duo.

Kerkez has been linked to Liverpool for several weeks now and Bournemouth are set to demand at least £40m for his exit this summer.

The Hungarian star is one of the Reds’ top targets for the left-back role and having impressed with the Cherries this season, it would be a big coup.

Justin Kluivert has hinted that Huijsen will leave Bournemouth at the end of the season and Liverpool are among the clubs showing interest in the 19-year-old talent, as the youngster has an attractive £50m release clause in his current contract.

A new report from The Telegraph has dealt Liverpool a blow in their pursuit of both as it states that Bournemouth will not sell more than one or two of their prize assets this summer.

“There is also strong interest in 21-year-old Milos Kerkez, Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert (both 25), but there is no way Bournemouth will sell more than one or two of their prize assets in a season,” Jason Burt writes.

“And even then it will only be on their terms; when they are ready and with a significant profit.”

This may force Liverpool into picking between the two Bournemouth stars, but that should not be a problem for the Merseyside club as they likely know which one they would prefer.

Huijsen’s father has hinted that Real Madrid is his son’s preferred destination ahead of the 2025/26 campaign but that does not mean Liverpool cannot get a deal for the 19-year-old done.

However, that is competition the Reds do not need and the left-back area is more of a concern for Slot given the performances of Robertson this season.

Kerkez is an opportunity Liverpool cannot miss out on this summer as the full-back is young, has a familiar style of play to Robertson, and his numbers this season have been impressive.
