In what could be one of the boldest decisions of the summer, Liverpool are preparing for life without Trent Alexander-Arnold — and the club has identified Miloš Kerkez as a potential successor.
🔁 With Trent’s 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 — ideal for Slot’s system.
💥 The 20-year-old Hungarian, currently at Bournemouth, is seen as one of Europe’s 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 — potentially even flipping flanks as the system demands.
🧠 This could signal a major tactical evolution at Anfield under the new regime.
🔥 A new Liverpool, a new backline, and possibly, a new era.
