Fabrizio Romano delivers exciting Liverpool news: The Reds are in talks with a “superb” player who has been “approved by Arne Slot.”

Liverpool are enjoying a remarkable season, with Arne Slot exceeding all expectations in his first year at the helm.

The Dutch manager took over from club legend Jürgen Klopp last summer after Klopp decided to take a break from football. Many, including Liverpool supporters, believed the team would need time to adjust under new leadership, expecting a transitional period.

However, Slot has stunned the football world with his impressive impact, as Liverpool now lead the Premier League by 15 points over Arsenal, having lost just one league match all season. What once seemed like a tight title race now appears firmly in Liverpool’s control.

In addition to their league dominance, the Reds have secured a place in the League Cup final and hold a one-goal advantage over PSG in the Champions League Round of 16.

Despite this success, one concern lingers — the left-back position. Veteran Andy Robertson has struggled to maintain form, and backup Kostas Tsimikas has been inconsistent.

Liverpool explored left-back options during the January window, with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez emerging as a key target. Although Kerkez publicly downplayed rumors of a move to Anfield, Liverpool’s interest remains strong, and recent reports indicate that discussions about a potential transfer have taken place.

According to the latest update from Fabrizio Romano via GiveMeSport, Arne Slot has now given his approval for the signing of Kerkez this summer. Romano confirms that Liverpool’s pursuit of the Hungarian defender is serious, and formal talks are expected to take place in the coming months.

Romano noted:
“It’s not something guaranteed or agreed at this stage, it’s still early; but Liverpool want to bring in a new left-back in the summer as well as a centre-back, and Kerkez is one of three main names on the shortlist already approved by Arne Slot.”
