Celebrations at Anfield as Liverpool Secures Verbal Agreement to Sign Milos Kerkez on a 5-Year Contract with Option for an Additional Season – Paperwork Completed, Final Approval Pending

Liverpool Set Sights on Key Signings as Arne Slot Begins New Era

Liverpool are already taking steps to reinforce their squad ahead of the new season, with newly appointed head coach Arne Slot laying the foundation for another competitive campaign.

After an impressive Premier League title win—achieved with minimal spending since Slot’s arrival—the club’s attention has now shifted to conquering Europe, with the Champions League firmly in their sights.

One significant signing appears close, with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong reportedly on the verge of joining as a potential long-term successor to Trent Alexander-Arnold. Liverpool are also targeting reinforcements on the left side of defense.

According to Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, the Reds have opened discussions with Bournemouth for 20-year-old Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez, who has emerged as a standout under Andoni Iraola. Valued for his attacking flair and defensive stability, Kerkez is seen as a natural successor to Andy Robertson and a strong fit for Slot’s tactical plans.

Up front, Liverpool are also considering changes. Brighton’s João Pedro has been linked as a potential replacement for Darwin Núñez, signaling further evolution in the forward line.

With several strategic targets already in play, Liverpool appear poised for a busy summer, determined to build on their domestic success and mount a serious challenge in Europe next season.
