Liverpool could rue selling “relentless” ace who may be better than Kerkez

Liverpool are heading toward a critical juncture.

Arne Slot’s side are way ahead at the top of the Premier League having also reached the Carabao Cup final. A meeting with Newcastle United at Wembley looms large.

But FSG know their Dutch head coach’s lightning-fast start to life in Jurgen Klopp’s seat will only be preserved through calculated investment this summer.

There’s still hope Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah will extend their deals, though there’s a sense of resignation that Trent Alexander-Arnold may have been tempted by Real Madrid.

While each of these superstars’ positions will need to be filled if they leave, Liverpool also have several other priorities, with Darwin Nunez likely to be sold this summer and a high-class forward needed in his stead.

He’s not the only one, though, with the left side of defence also in desperate need of renovation. Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez has been picked as the man for the job, it seems.
