Premier League storm: Manchester City disrupts the situation, compete with Liverpool for the left-back star

10:09pm, 20 May 2025Football

In the transfer wave of European football, another "stone" has caused a thousand waves. According to British media reports, Manchester City has asked Bournemouth about left-back Milosh Korquez, a move that means they will officially join the fierce competition with Liverpool for the potential star.

Liverpool has long been regarded as the leader in this transfer chase. Kolkz is regarded by the Reds as the ideal successor to legendary left-back Andy Robertson. In order to get him, Liverpool has been making frequent moves in recent weeks, and has held multiple rounds of in-depth negotiations with the player's agent. Although Robertson is experienced, as he grows older and the intensive game, the team urgently needs fresh blood to stabilize the left defense line. The appearance of Kolkerz undoubtedly gives Liverpool hope for the future defense line.

However, Manchester City's sudden intervention made the transfer drama even more confusing. Manchester City is now preparing for a large-scale restructuring of the lineup this summer. As Gvadior gradually settles in the central defender position, the left-back position is slightly thin, and it is urgent to find a full-time left-back. Guardiola has always pursued the ultimate perfection of the tactical system. He is eager to have more high-quality choices in the left-back position and provide more possibilities for the team's tactical switching. The new football director Viana also appreciates Kolkz's talent and potential, which undoubtedly adds strong momentum to Manchester City's pursuit.

Korkez, who is only 21 years old, is remarkable in Bournemouth and has become a key figure in the team's defense. He is fast and explosive. He can successfully resolve the opponent's offense many times with his excellent physical fitness and defensive awareness when defending. On the offensive end, his assists are also extremely threatening and can add more changes to the team's offense. With these excellent performances, he has attracted the attention of many giants. Now the competition between Manchester City and Liverpool has made him the focus of the transfer market.

However, Bournemouth has a very firm attitude towards Kolkz, and has priced him at 45 million pounds. Given the intense interest of many teams in Kolkz, Bournemouth is convinced that their asking price will eventually be met. Moreover, Korkz's contract was signed in 2028, and there was no termination clause in the contract, which gave Bournemouth enough confidence in this transfer game, and even if he was not in a hurry to sell, he could plan his own signing plan in an orderly manner.

For Liverpool, Kolkz is certainly an ideal candidate, but they are not the only option in the left-back position. At present, they are still paying close attention to Ajax defender Harto. Regardless of whether Kolkz finally joins, Harto's transfer transactions may make substantial progress. This means that even if he loses in the competition with Manchester City against Kolkerz, Liverpool has other backers to supplement the strength of the left-back position.

fans could no longer suppress their excitement and started a heated discussion on social media. On the one hand, Liverpool fans are full of expectations for the team's pursuit of Kolkerz, hoping that he can put on the Reds' jersey as soon as possible; on the other hand, they are worried about Manchester City's joining and are afraid that the cooked ducks will fly away. Manchester City fans were full of joy and were looking forward to bringing new vitality to the team's defense line after joining Kolkerz. This transfer competition not only concerns the future of the two players, but also concerns the strength and tactical layout of the two Premier League giants in the new season.

Will Kolkz choose Anfield to continue the glory of Liverpool? Or to go to Etihad to help Manchester City continue to dominate the Premier League? All this is full of suspense, and all we can do is wait and see, wait for the final choice of this young genius, and witness the ending of another wonderful story in the transfer market.
