Liverpool Secure Milos Kerkez in £45 Million Move from Bournemouth
Liverpool have officially completed the signing of 21-year-old Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth in a high-profile £45 million transfer. The talented defender has signed a five-year deal that will keep him at Anfield through June 2030.
Kerkez, who made waves in his first Premier League season with Bournemouth, had attracted attention from top clubs across Europe thanks to his explosive speed, aggressive playing style, and mature performances. Ultimately, it was Liverpool who won the battle for his signature, outpacing both domestic and European competitors.
The signing is part of Liverpool’s ongoing squad rebuild following the end of the Jürgen Klopp era. With veteran Andy Robertson now in his 30s and the left-back role frequently hit by injuries, Kerkez is seen as both a long-term solution and an immediate option to bolster the defense.
Speaking after the move, Kerkez shared his excitement:
“Joining Liverpool is a dream come true. The club’s legacy, its passionate fans, and its drive to win make it an incredible place to be. I’m eager to step onto the Anfield pitch and compete for trophies.”
Liverpool’s sporting director also weighed in:
“We’ve tracked Milos closely, and he ticks every box — intensity, skill, and the mindset we value at Liverpool. At just 21, his potential is enormous, and we’re confident he’ll thrive here.”
Kerkez will wear the No. 21 shirt and is expected to report for pre-season training immediately. As Liverpool aim to defend their Premier League title and push for European success, fans are already buzzing about what the young Hungarian could bring to the squad
