This season, Arne Slot’s team is playing at their best at Anfield, although there are concerns about the left-back position.
Konstantinos Tsimikas, 28, is not a long-term match for the Scot, and Andy Robertson, 30, is not getting any younger.
By the end of the season, Robertson will have one year remaining on his contract. As we’ve seen with Trent Alexander-Arnold, 26, Virgil van Dijk, 33, and Mohamed Salah, 32, the Reds don’t hesitate to let contract expire.
The Scotland international with 80 caps will eventually need to be replaced, even if he stays with the team longer.
One of those goals came in the impressive 4-1 away win against Newcastle on Saturday (January 18). Kerkez smashed home the visitors’ fourth at St James’ Park. Hat trick hero Justin Kluivert earned all the plaudits, but his Hungarian teammate was equally important.
In response to Bournemouth’s triumph, Romano mentioned Kerkez’s predicament. He wrote:
Milos Kerkez scores for Bournemouth and continues to play at a high level this season, so it’s not just Kluivert’s show. Both Liverpool and Manchester United are keeping a careful eye on his development.
Iraola will be eager to keep Kerkez for at least the rest of the season, given the Cherries are potentially challenging for European qualification.

The win on Tyneside took them up to 7th in the league, a point behind fourth-placed Manchester City.
Liverpool will likely face competition from Manchester United if they do move for the former AC Milan academy prospect.
Slot reportedly also likes the look of Kerkez’s teammate Antoine Semenyo, who is thriving on both wings for the Cherries. The 25-year-old Ghanaian attacker has managed six goals and three assists in 21 Premier League outings.
