Real Madrid and Manchester City are reportedly ready to battle Liverpool for their priority target Milos Kerkez. As reported by David Ornstein via LFC Transfer Room, Real Madrid and Manchester City both have the 21-year-old on their radar.
Kerkez is reportedly the primary target for Liverpool in the summer as they look to bolster their left-back options. The Hungary international is also thought to be keen on joining the Reds but has also other suitors for his services.
Arne Slot's side have been evidently looking to strengthen their Premier League-winning squad in the summer. They are reportedly set to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, with Trent Alexander-Arnold set to leave on a free transfer.

The Merseyside giants have also been heavily linked with a move for Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz. Milos Kerkez has also been strongly linked with a move to Anfield for a while now but the Reds are set to face competition for his signature.
Kerkez has been hugely impressive for Bournemouth since joining the Cherries in 2023 from Dutch side AZ. He has enjoyed a stellar season for Andoni Iraola's side this time out, contributing two goals and six assists in 37 league games.
Andy Robertson has been Liverpool's first-choice left-back for a while now and has etched his name as a club legend. However, at 31, he is not quite the player he used to be and has made several costly errors this season.
Kostas Tsimikas, on the other hand, has done a decent job while deputizing for Robertson when called upon. However, the Greece international has not done enough to be relied upon as the regular starter and Kerkez could be a solid long-term replacement for Robertson.
Liverpool face competition from four PL sides for Rayan Cherki's signature
Liverpool are reportedly set to face competition from Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Manchester City for Rayan Cherki. As reported by Liverpool.com, the Reds' target is also admired by clubs like Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan.
Cherki looks destined to leave Lyon in the summer due to the club's financial struggles in recent months. He has been regarded as one of the brightest talents in Europe and has made 185 appearances for Lyon at the age of just 21.
Cherki has scored 29 times and provided 45 assists in 185 appearances for Les Gones till date. He enjoyed a phenomenal last season, scoring 12 goals and producing 20 assists in 44 appearances. Cherki reportedly has a release clause of just €22.5 million in his deal which makes him a potential bargain for any top club.
