The Reds are planning a stunning double move for a Prem star and Arsenal target

Liverpool have identified Milos Kerkez and Martin Zubimendi as their top targets for 2025 and, as TEAMtalk can reveal, they could be tempted to sign them as early as January.

Liverpool are fully ready to win the Premier League title and are absolutely relentless under new coach Arne Slot. There is a real possibility that they will win the Premier League in their first season under the Dutchman’s leadership. They are currently assessing the squad and the areas in which they need to strengthen to take advantage of the club’s excellent position.

They are trying to get more details and focus on two key items in the January window that they believe will help them maintain their title fee. The full-back position, particularly left-back, and another central midfielder are key areas where the club hopes to increase player numbers.

Their main left-back is Andy Robertson, and the Scotland international has rediscovered his form in recent weeks. However, he is already over 30 years old and has nagging injuries that have affected his playing time.

The Anfield team have monitored many options and are a big fan of Milos Kerkez, as revealed by TEAMtalk on October 31st. Many top clubs are looking for a player from Bournemouth including Manchester United – but Liverpool have identified him as a player who could take over from Robertson.

Cherries don’t want to lose Kerkeza is halfway through the season, but sources close to Bournemouth believe this is his last season at the club.

The midfielder is also needed to help the likes of Ryan Gravenberch, who has become an integral player. Liverpool want to add more quality and as previously reportedyou feel like entering Martin Zubimendi.

The Real Soceidad star is a top target for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal, but they face real competition from Liverpool, who are confident they can beat the Gunners following his signature.

The Spain international loves Sociedad and has rejected the option of leaving the club in the summer, but sources in Spain believe he will leave the club in the near future. Indeed, reports from Zubimendi’s homeland claim so he has already decided to leave Sociedad for a new challenge.

Zubimendi still has a €60 million (£50.1 million/$63 million) release clause in his contract, and sources make it clear that Liverpool want to activate it.

The Reds usually do not overpay in January and only allow large spending on the right player, which may result in them moving to one of two key positions.

A new defender and midfielder are Liverpool’s top priorities, but other positions will also be improved at a later stage.

Liverpool are hoping to sign another centre-back and are also considering striker options in case Mo Salah moves on. The Egyptian winger admitted that he did These days, Liverpool is “more out than in”. has not yet received a binding offer to extend the contract.

Sources have told TEAMtalk that West Ham United ace Mohammed Kudus will be one to watch if Salah leaves, as Liverpool will remain a huge fan of the 24-year-old.
