Liverpool’s backline has been a big reason behind their success in recent years.

The brilliance and constant reliability of the likes of Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker has allowed Liverpool to achieve greatness over the past decade.

But with time comes change, and it could be a reality in the not-so-distant future that we see a major shakeup in that backline we have become so accustomed to seeing.

Liverpool have been linked with signing a left-back ahead of this summer’s transfer window.

Andy Robertson has failed to show the same form that he has in previous campaigns, as he has struggled at times this season.

As a result, rumours began to swirl that the Reds would be in the market for someone to fill Robertson’s spot in the team and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is the name that has been mentioned the most in connection with a move to Liverpool.

Liverpool could now see themselves bringing the Hungarian left-back to the club this summer, after Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that Manchester United are no longer looking to sign a left-back, clearing the way for Liverpool to target Kerkez.

Manchester United were searching for a left-back in January, eventually signing Patrick Dorgu from Lecce.

Ruben Amorim is reportedly happy with Dorgu, and is set to stick with the young Denmark international, meaning they have now left the race to sign the Bournemouth left-back.

As part of Fabrizio Romano’s daily briefing with Caught Offside, here is what he had to say on the current situation regarding Kerkez.

“For Milos Kerkez, there’s no release clause, but there’s strong interest from Liverpool.

The Hungarian international is another player who is expected to be an interesting case to follow in the summer transfer window.”

“With Kerkez, Liverpool already months ago showed an interest.

Man United were also keen but then they invested in Patrick Dorgu so they are no longer looking for a player in that position.”

Milos Kerkez has been hugely impressive for the Cherries this season and could be an upgrade to the veteran Andrew Robertson in that left-back position.

Along with Milos Kerkez, Liverpool also have their eye on centre-back Dean Huijsen, as a double swoop could be on the cards.
