Liverpool are on the verge of finalising a £45 million deal to sign 21-year-old Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth. The transfer is part of manager Arne Slot’s strategy to rejuvenate the squad ahead of the 2025–26 season.

📝 Contract Details

Kerkez is set to sign a five-year contract with Liverpool, with an option for a sixth year. The deal is expected to be completed shortly, with personal terms already agreed between the player and the club. Bournemouth, aware of Kerkez’s rising stock, are holding firm at a £45 million valuation, but sources suggest that a compromise could be reached slightly below this figure.

📈 Player Profile

Kerkez has been a standout performer for Bournemouth since joining from AZ Alkmaar in 2023. In the 2024–25 Premier League season, he featured in all 38 matches, contributing two goals and five assists. His performances have attracted attention from top clubs, including Real Madrid, but Liverpool have made the first official move. (thisisanfield.com, talksport.com)

🔄 Role at Liverpool

With Andy Robertson entering the final year of his contract, Kerkez is seen as a long-term successor at left-back. His arrival is expected to provide healthy competition for Robertson, who remains a key figure in the squad. Kostas Tsimikas is also expected to depart, further opening up opportunities for Kerkez.

🤝 Personal Connections

Kerkez shares a close friendship with Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, which could ease his transition to the club. The two have spoken highly of each other, and Kerkez has expressed his enthusiasm about the prospect of playing alongside Szoboszlai at Anfield. (thisisanfield.com)

With the deal nearing completion, Milos Kerkez is set to become Liverpool’s third major signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz. Fans can look forward to a new era at left-back, with Kerkez bringing energy and potential to the squad.
