In what could be one of the boldest decisions of the summer, Liverpool are preparing for life without Trent Alexander-Arnold â and the club has identified MiloĆĄ Kerkez as a potential successor.
đ With Trentâs future increasingly uncertain following his Real Madrid unveiling and controversial statements, Arne Slot is wasting no time. According to insider reports, Kerkez is viewed as a long-term solution, bringing dynamism, defensive steel, and attacking drive â ideal for Slotâs system.
đ„ The 20-year-old Hungarian, currently at Bournemouth, is seen as one of Europeâs most promising full-backs. Despite being left-footed and often deployed on the left, Slot reportedly sees Kerkez as a tactical wildcard who could adapt and thrive in a more inverted or hybrid role â potentially even flipping flanks as the system demands.
đ§ This could signal a major tactical evolution at Anfield under the new regime.
đ„ A new Liverpool, a new backline, and possibly, a new era.
