Liverpool is nearing the signing of left-back Milos Kirkiz from Bournemouth for approximately £45 million, according to reports from "CaughtOffside".

Liverpool has begun negotiations with the player following significant progress in the deal for Jeremy Frimpong, facing competition from clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester City, and Real Madrid.

The English club plans to sell Tsimikas in a swap deal, which will help in adhering to financial fair play regulations.

Kirkiz is considered an ideal option to compensate for the aging Andrew Robertson in the left-back position, potentially forming a strong defensive duo with Frimpong for Liverpool.

Despite the interest from Chelsea and Manchester City, Liverpool appears to be the closest to completing the deal this summer.
