Following Andy Robertson‘s inconsistent performances last term, Liverpool moved to address the left-back position by signing Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth last summer. The 22-year-old has delivered average output this campaign, registering four goal contributions and keeping six clean sheets across all competitions. With Robertson set to depart on a free transfer, the Merseyside club have started identifying replacements.
TEAMtalk report that Liverpool hold a long-standing interest in Hall and intend to move for him during the offseason. Arne Slot’s side face serious competition, with Chelsea looking to bring him back and Bayern Munich also monitoring the situation. Newcastle have no desire to sell, and Hall‘s contract runs until 2029, but the player himself is open to leaving to advance his career. Should the Magpies be forced to sell, they have set a £55m asking price.
Three-Club Race Takes Shape
Manchester United, having secured Champions League football for next season, are targeting a new left-back to support Luke Shaw. Director of football Jason Wilcox is a noted admirer of Hall and has made signing him a personal priority this summer.
Arsenal already have Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapié, and Myles Lewis-Skelly available for the left-back role, which limits their urgency unless departures change their needs.
Hall is a technical left-back — quick, comfortable in possession from deep, and dependable defensively. His club form has earned him a place in Thomas Tuchel‘s England national team setup. At £55m, any club that lands him from St James’ Park this summer will be making a significant statement of intent. Follow TipsGG for the latest updates as this transfer race develops.
