In fact, Fabrizio Romano is ringing to reveal that the lecture is ongoing on yet another popular star.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"liverpool-advancing-talks-for-another-signing\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liverpool_Advance_talks_about_another_signature\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Liverpool Advance talks about another signature<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to Romano, Liverpool is in consultation with Bournemouth for Milos Kerquez, who is &#8220;very enthusiastic&#8221; to move to Anfield this summer.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old Hungarian is expected to win a fee of around \u00a345 million, but Liverpool certainly hopes to cut it off.<\/p>\n<p>Slot wants a new left-back signature given 31-year-old Andy Robertson&#8217;s decline, and his agent, Costas Tsimicus, is forwardable.<\/p>\n<p>Man City and Real Madrid have also registered interest in recent weeks, so favorites to close the deal are pulling out all the stops to help Liverpool reward his incredible feat.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-liverpool-want-milos-kerkez\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Liverpool_wants_Milos_Kerquez\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Why Liverpool wants Milos Kerquez?<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that might seem like a bold claim. Let&#8217;s make that clear: Wirtz is one of the world&#8217;s most attacking midfielders, costing over 100 million euros (\u00a385 million), but not as much as an outrageous initial bill.<\/p>\n<p>    He is the signature of Marquee, and that&#8217;s true, but Kerquez is a player Liverpool needs to sign to move forward in order to make it even better at this Premier League winning campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, Kerquez could prove to be a more transformative addition to the Liverpool aspect.<\/p>\n<p>Frimpong brings a unique style to the right of Virgil Van Dijk&#8217;s backline, but you&#8217;ll find the Dutch signed a new long-term deal with Anfield&#8217;s side last week, jockeying for the number one verse with one of the game&#8217;s most exciting young fullbacks.<\/p>\n<p>    However, Robertson is his motor return, and is constantly criticized for his loss of focus. Sky Sports&#8217; Jamie Carrager acknowledged &#8220;absolute legend&#8221; last month, but he outlined &#8220;now hanging in every game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kerquez can dynamise Liverpool&#8217;s defense and provide valuable heirs of the upcoming age. Pundit Izzy Christensen welcomes the &#8220;machine&#8221; of his role at Bournemouth this term, and he actually maintains a high level above that of Robertson.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Milos Kerkez vs Andy Robertson in the Prem (24\/25)<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Match statistics (*per game)<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Kerkes<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Robertson<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Match (start)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>38 (38)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>33 (29)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>the goal<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>assist<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>touch*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>59.6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>64.5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Pass completed<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>80%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>88%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>A big opportunity has been created<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Ball recovery*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4.4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>dribble*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Tackle + Intercept*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2.6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>clearance*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2.6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Ground duel (winning)*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.3 (61%)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.6 (52%)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><em>Statistics via Sofascore<\/em><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Robertson is more accurate on the ball, but this mainly depends on a tactical approach from the slot.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is certain, Kerkez is a massive upgrade and a more important signature than Frimpong.

This suggests he could become a typical modern fullback, but Frimon, although electric, in fleet foot on the ball, sometimes draws criticism of his defensive work.<\/p>\n<p>    The Xabi Alonso man only won 45% of the ground duel at Bundesliga last season.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, a potential by-product of it is that it lacks the defensive nous that Kerkez had, for example.
