Why Liverpool could hold trump card in five-team race to seal £95m double transfer raid - plus the stars being chased by Premier League rivals this summer: LIVERPOOL CONFIDENTIAL | Daily Mail Online

Liverpool's Transfer Plans

Liverpool is preparing for a busy summer transfer window, aiming to strengthen their squad with several new signings. They're targeting a £95 million double swoop on Bournemouth, focusing on left-back Milos Kerkez and central defender Dean Huijsen. Competition for Huijsen is fierce, with Chelsea considered frontrunners, but Liverpool remains involved. Kerkez is expected to cost around £45 million.

Other Liverpool Transfer Targets

Besides Kerkez and Huijsen, Liverpool is also considering adding a striker and a midfielder. The future of current players, including Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, and Jarell Quansah, remains uncertain.

Bournemouth's Interest in Liverpool Players

Bournemouth is also interested in several Liverpool players, potentially as part of separate transfer deals. They are monitoring Caoimhin Kelleher, Harvey Elliott, and Ben Doak. Kelleher seeks a starting position elsewhere, Elliott has had limited game time this season, and Doak’s loan stint at Middlesbrough ended due to injury.
