“Liverpool aim to complete their first signing before the end of May,” reports Fabrizio Romano.

Liverpool are preparing for a bold summer transfer window following their strong Premier League campaign.

The Merseyside club intends to generate substantial funds through player sales to support their transfer plans, with a particular focus on reinforcing their defense. One of their primary targets is Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.

However, Kerkez isn’t the only player from Andoni Iraola’s squad catching Liverpool’s attention. The Reds are also keen on signing Spanish defender Dean Huijsen. According to Fabrizio Romano via GiveMeSport, Liverpool are pushing to finalize the deal before the end of May to fend off interest from rival clubs.

Romano noted, “Yes, Premier League clubs want the deal to be done by the end of May. I think it will be a crucial month.”

Huijsen’s performances have impressed top European clubs, with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich reportedly monitoring him closely. Liverpool see the young centre-back as a valuable addition to support senior players like Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

With Bournemouth already seeking a replacement for Huijsen, his departure seems increasingly likely. Securing his signature would signal Liverpool’s clear intent to rebuild and compete for major titles domestically and in Europe next season.

Additionally, the Premier League champions are eyeing Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton as part of their efforts to bolster their midfield options.
