Milos Kerkez deal could see Liverpool left-back join Rangers

Liverpool are facing a transfer overhaul in the current transfer window. We’ve already seen the club move on from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher and Nat Phillips - among others - but expect more departures before the summer is out.

Sporting director Richard Hughes and Arne Slot will require several outgoings to finance the next phase of their transfer plans - which include adding a new striker and perhaps even a new centre-back.

It means plenty of Liverpool squad members - as well as fringe players - could be on the move in order to facilitate the new arrivals.

For example England under-21 trio Jarell Quansah, Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton could all end up at new clubs come next season.

Owen Beck linked with Rangers

Quansah looks closer than the other two to the exit - with Bayer Leverkusen close to wrapping up a £30m transfer. But even those further away from the first-team picture could be cashed in. One of those players who could potentially move on is Owen Beck.

The 22-year-old left-back impressed out on loan last season in the Championship with Blackburn Rovers. The Wales international previously spent time away from the club at Dundee, Bolton Wanderers and Famalicao.

And according to a report in Ibrox Noise, Rangers could be the next destination for the homegrown Liverpool defender.

Kerkez arrival could see a clearout

The Scottish giants are undergoing a transformation this summer under new head coach Russell Martin and reportedly see Beck as a key target.

Given his previous success in the SPFL with Dundee, Rangers are now “making a serious move” for the left-sided defender.

Beck has been at Liverpool since under-13 level, making his first-team debut in 2021. His current contract is listed as expiring in 2026 - per Transfermarkt.

Therefore Liverpool could try to convince Beck to sign a new contract before sending him out on loan.

Liverpool have just signed £45m left-back Milos Kerkez and also have got Kostas Tsimikas and Andy Robertson on the books. That is an overabundance of left-backs at the club, meaning Beck could be squeezed out.
