Liverpool Secure Verbal Agreement to Sign Milos Kerkez in First Major Move of Arne Slot Era
Liverpool have reached a verbal agreement to sign Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez on a five-year deal, with an option for a sixth, sources close to the club have confirmed. The 20-year-old Hungarian left-back is expected to become the first major signing under new head coach Arne Slot.
All key paperwork has reportedly been signed, and only final internal approvals remain before the official announcement. Kerkez has been closely tracked by Liverpool for months and was also on the radar of several top European clubs, but the Reds acted swiftly to secure his signature.
Seen as a long-term successor to Andy Robertson—who battled injuries last season—Kerkez impressed in his debut Premier League campaign with his defensive tenacity and attacking energy. The move is seen as both a reinforcement for now and a strategic investment in the club’s future.
The signing signals Liverpool’s intent to refresh and strengthen key areas of the squad under their new leadership, and fans are already celebrating what could be a cornerstone addition for seasons to come.
