Manchester City blindside the Reds in pursuit of a defender
Liverpool want a new left-back, and Milos Kerkez has been the top target. The defender wants the move and has given his nod to a five-year contract.
The Reds are also in talks with Bournemouth, but they have yet to table an official bid for the Hungarian left-back.
According to iNews. Manchester City are looking to take advantage and have already made enquiries into the possibility of signing Kerkez this summer.
Manchester City are pressing forward with their attempts to sign him, and are now genuine rivals to Liverpool for the signature of the Hungarian.
Bournemouth want £40m to £45m for the defender, and Liverpool have been trying to negotiate down that price.
Manchester City are prepared to take advantage and would be ready to meet Bournemouth’s valuation of the defender.
Kerkez is keen on a move to Liverpool, but it remains to be seen whether his tune changes due to serious interest from Manchester City.
