Liverpool Closing In on Milos Kerkez Signing as Negotiations Advance
Liverpool supporters have fresh cause for excitement as the club looks to be making serious progress in their pursuit of Bournemouth’s highly rated left-back, Milos Kerkez.
Renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has revealed that talks between Liverpool, Bournemouth, and the player’s representatives have been ongoing for several weeks — signaling that a potential transfer is quickly gathering momentum.
In a recent update via his YouTube channel, Romano declared:
“The next signing for Liverpool could be Milos Kerkez. So get ready, Liverpool fans — talks between the clubs and with the player’s representatives have been happening for weeks.”
This update indicates that the deal may already be in its final stages. If completed, Kerkez would become part of a significant defensive reshaping at Anfield, potentially joining fellow rumored targets Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi.
The pursuit of the 21-year-old Hungarian international underscores Liverpool’s intent to future-proof their squad under new head coach Arne Slot.
Kerkez has impressed since his 2023 arrival at Bournemouth. Making 41 appearances last season, the dynamic left-back registered two goals and six assists — an eye-catching return for a defender.
His consistency and attacking output have clearly attracted Liverpool’s recruitment team, which now features incoming sporting director Richard Hughes.
Adding to the appeal is Kerkez’s strong connection with current Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai. The pair often link up on international duty for Hungary and already possess a promising on-field understanding — something that could translate seamlessly at club level.
With Kostas Tsimikas attracting interest from other clubs and only two years left on his contract, Liverpool’s timing appears calculated. Kerkez could serve as both an immediate challenger and a long-term successor to Andy Robertson, who is now approaching 30 and has been a mainstay of the Reds’ backline for several years.
Kerkez’s energetic overlapping runs, aggressive style of play, and flair in the final third make him a perfect fit for Liverpool’s dynamic brand of football. Paired with Frimpong on the opposite flank, Liverpool’s full-backs could add a new dimension to the team’s already potent attack.
With Romano’s trusted confirmation and ongoing talks between the clubs, all signs now point toward Milos Kerkez swapping Bournemouth for Anfield sooner rather than later.
