Liverpool, on the verge of clinching the Premier League title, are reportedly preparing a £95 million double move for Bournemouth duo as new manager Arne Slot begins reshaping the squad for a demanding summer ahead.
Reports suggest Slot is targeting reinforcements across multiple positions, including left-back, centre-back, right-back, striker, and attacking midfielder. Despite a low-key first transfer window—where only Federico Chiesa and Giorgi Mamardashvili were signed (with Chiesa playing sparingly and Mamardashvili remaining on loan at Valencia)—Slot has impressively steered the team to the top of the table.
This summer, however, Liverpool are expected to be far more active. Among Slot’s main targets is Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, along with centre-back Dean Huijsen, who has a £50 million release clause that could reportedly be paid in three instalments.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool are serious about completing a £95 million deal for both players, despite interest from rival clubs such as Chelsea and Arsenal. Kerkez is valued around £45 million, with the Reds eager to reinforce the left side of defense as Andy Robertson, now 31, shows signs of decline.
Dean Huijsen isn’t the only defensive option, though—Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite is also being considered, though a switch across Merseyside could prove complicated.
In addition to defensive targets, Liverpool are looking to bring in a striker and an attacking midfielder, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding Darwin Nunez’s future. Meanwhile, Bournemouth have expressed interest in several Liverpool players, including Caoimhin Kelleher, Harvey Elliott, and Ben Doak. Kelleher is expected to leave once Mamardashvili officially joins the squad.
