The i Paper now reports that Manchester City have entered the race to sign Kerkez. Liverpool remain favourites to land the left-back but this is a problem.
For one, it’s another club capable of turning Kerkez’s head. The bigger issue, though, is that Bournemouth will stick far more rigidly to that £45m asking price if there are multiple clubs interested in their player.
All it takes is City’s willingness to offer £45m and Liverpool likely don’t sign Kerkez. Bournemouth would simply point them to the asking price and it’s one the Reds don’t seem to want to pay.
Which in turn pushes them back towards Hato. That’s an interesting transfer, given he’d likely cost a similar fee to Kerkez.
