Liverpool are reportedly closing in on the signing of Bournemouth’s left-back Milos Kerkez, following a season in which the 21-year-old Hungarian impressed across all 38 Premier League matches, contributing two goals and six assists.
The young defender’s standout performances have attracted interest from top clubs, with Liverpool emerging as frontrunners. Speculation ramped up after Kerkez posted a cryptic message on social media that many interpreted as a goodbye to Bournemouth fans:
“I don’t know what will happen in the next week, but Cherries family, thank you!”
Liverpool see Kerkez as a dynamic option to revitalize their left flank, especially with Andy Robertson struggling to maintain consistent form. Kerkez’s pace, attacking instincts, and energy make him a valuable addition to the squad’s defensive depth.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that negotiations between Liverpool and Bournemouth are progressing well, with personal terms unlikely to be an issue. If the deal is finalized, Kerkez would link up with fellow Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai, strengthening the national connection at Anfield.
With Arne Slot fresh off a Premier League title win, the club is aggressively pursuing reinforcements, and Kerkez is just one part of a broader summer overhaul. Their primary target remains Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, while Harvey Elliott could be on his way out.
