Liverpool will regret MASSIVE Milos Kerkez mistake

Liverpool have got to reconsider their Milos Kerkez decision. The left-back is catching everyone's eye this season.

Liverpool have been linked with Milos Kerkez all season long, with the Bournemouth left-back putting in some fine performances this season. The Cherries as a whole are impressive - and Kerkez is one of their absolute standouts.

But this is, with all due respect, Bournemouth. Once a player truly thrives there, he typically moves on and the links to Liverpool are very easy to make.

Richard Hughes signed him for Bournemouth, after all. On top of that, Liverpool need to think about a long-term solution at left-back as Andy Robertson moves towards the end of his contract.

And as Anfield Watch exclusively reported last month, Liverpool have been in preliminary talks for Kerkez. But, they're not the only ones.

Manchester United are also big fans of the player and Kerkez is actually a big fan of theirs, too. He grew up as a United supporter - so that's a spanner in the works for Liverpool's plan.

The big Milos Kerkez mistake

And perhaps Liverpool should let Kerkez move to United. That's certainly our thinking if Caught Offside's latest report is correct.

They're claiming that Bournemouth want £50m for the young left-back and for us, that's far too much. Kerkez is still only 21 and with flaws in his game - the step up to a club like Liverpool is massive and not one that every player handles.

Couple that with not knowing how a young player necessary develops and £50m is an almighty risk for your long-term left-back solution. It's the kind of mistake United regularly make, funnily enough.

But there are other left-backs out there who either offer more experience or are available for a fraction of the cost. It would be another thing entirely if Kerkez offered homegrown status, too, though he doesn't.

Someone like Antonee Robinson would and even at 27, could give years of service. A move for him feels like a far safer option than Kerkez at £50m.

At that price, the Hungarian feels like a mistake Liverpool could come to massively regret.
