Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United are both looking to sign a new left-back this year.
They both have struggled in that position with the poor form of Andy Robertson at Anfield and the fitness issues faced by Luke Shaw at Old Trafford.
It is a position that both Arne Slot at Liverpool and Ruben Amorim at Man United are keen to address this year.
While Liverpool have struggled with Robertson playing in that position, the Red Devils have used Diogo Dalot, who is naturally a right-back, in that position.
A player that both the clubs are targeting, along with Manchester City, is Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez.
According to iNews, the Bournemouth star prefers a move to Liverpool over a move to Man United.
As per the report, all three Premier League sides have started contact with the player’s representatives but he personally would like to play for the Premier League leaders.
Liverpool director of football Richard Hughes, who used to work for Bournemouth in the past was the person who brought Kerkez to England and the defender wants to resume that working relationship with Hughes.
This gives Liverpool the edge over Man United and Man City to sign the talented left-back.
