Liverpool’s transfer window is heating up as they eye some key additions to their squad.
One name buzzing around Anfield is Bournemouth’s left-back, Milos Kerkez.
The Reds are keen to wrap up a deal for the 21-year-old soon, with talks progressing steadily.
Bournemouth have set their price at £45 million, but there’s a chance Liverpool could negotiate it down to around £40 million to get the deal done.
Kerkez Could Be Liverpool’s Second Signing — If Wirtz Doesn’t Beat Them To It
If Liverpool manage to secure Kerkez, he might become their second signing this summer — but there’s a twist.
German sensation Florian Wirtz, an attacking midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen, is reportedly very close to joining Liverpool, with sources in Germany saying the deal is “99 percent done.”
The package is set to break Liverpool’s transfer record, showing just how eager the club is to bring Wirtz to Anfield.
The 20-year-old star, who is gearing up to play in Germany’s UEFA Nations League semi-final against Portugal, is excited about the move.
His transfer now seems less a question of “if” and more a question of “when.”
Interestingly, Wirtz would be joining a familiar face — his Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong, who recently signed a five-year deal with Liverpool for £29.5 million.
Big Spending Ahead, But Liverpool Need to Balance the Books
These transfers add up quickly.
Between Kerkez, Wirtz, and Frimpong, Liverpool’s summer spending will top £200 million.
That figure also includes the £25 million deal for new goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, which was technically completed last summer but counts toward this season’s finances.
With such heavy spending, Liverpool will need to sell players to balance their books.
They’ve already made £10 million from the early departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid.
Plus, they are set to receive £18 million for Caoimhin Kelleher’s move to Brentford.
Potential Departures Could Fund New Arrivals
Darwin Nunez looks likely to leave Anfield, which would bring in additional funds.
Other players like Kostas Tsimikas could also be sold to raise cash.
Meanwhile, young talents Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah are attracting interest both domestically and abroad.
Liverpool will want substantial fees if they decide to let these prospects go.
Luis Diaz: Staying Put Despite Interest
Despite rumors linking winger Luis Diaz to clubs like Al Nassr and Barcelona, Liverpool have no intention of selling the Colombian star.
Diaz still has two years left on his contract, and the club sees him as a key player moving forward.
What’s Next for Liverpool?
With big deals nearly complete and more activity on the horizon, Liverpool’s summer window promises plenty of excitement.
Securing both Kerkez and Wirtz could reshape the squad, but balancing purchases with sales will be crucial.
Fans will be watching closely to see how the Reds navigate this busy transfer period.
