Liverpool sit comfortably at the summit of the Premier League table with a nine-point lead over Arsenal in the standings. The club do not believe that they need to bring in reinforcements in the winter window to sustain their title challenge. However, it seems circumstances could force them into spending money in January.
The Merseyside giants are looking at next summer where they want to do the bulk of their transfer business. Arne Slot is happy with the state of his squad at the moment and do not see the necessity for bringing in new faces in the winter window.
Liverpool fans are clamouring for transfers as many feel the club should drive home the advantage and ensure that they do not leave any stone unturned in their quest for a 20th English top-flight title at the end of the season.
The club are looking at players who could add something different to the squad and are ready to be more flexible if a long-term target becomes available in the market during the January transfer window.
It seems one such player is likely to become available for a move in Janaury. Liverpool could be forced into spending money to ensure a top player doesn’t end up at another big Premier League club in the winter window.
Top Reds target ready to move in January
Milos Kerkez has been on Liverpool’s radar since last summer and the club are closely monitoring his progress at Bournemouth for a while.
Liverpool are increasingly feeling the need to bring in a younger replacement for Andy Robertson even though the club are preparing to offer him a new contract at the end of the season.
Kerkez is one of the top targets Liverpool are tracking but it has been widely assumed that a deal will only happen next summer.
However, according to CaughtOffside, the Bournemouth defender is open to leaving Dean Court in the winter transfer window.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
He is ready to take the next step in his career in the middle of the season if a top club make an offer for him in the coming month or so.
The Cherries are likely to demand somewhere around £40m before they agree to sell Kerkez in the winter window.
He has also been on the radar of Manchester United who want to sign a new left-back either in January or next summer.
