Liverpool Close to Signing Milos Kerkez in £35m Deal
Liverpool are on the verge of confirming their next major signing of the summer, having reached a full agreement to bring Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez to Anfield. The 20-year-old is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days, with an official announcement anticipated shortly thereafter.
According to multiple reputable sources, the Reds moved swiftly to secure the highly rated defender, beating out competition from several top European clubs. Kerkez, who has impressed in both the Premier League and on the international stage with Hungary, is believed to have chosen Liverpool over other interested sides across England and the continent.
Reports indicate that the player is “very happy” with his decision, viewing the move to Anfield as the perfect next step for his career development.
Liverpool have closely monitored Kerkez since his breakthrough, particularly in light of Andy Robertson’s recent injury setbacks and the fact the Scotsman turned 30 earlier this year. The club views Kerkez as a long-term solution at left-back and a perfect fit for Arne Slot’s high-energy tactical system.
Known for his pace, stamina, and attacking instincts, Kerkez is seen as one of the most exciting young defensive prospects in European football. The player has already agreed to personal terms, and paperwork between the two clubs is being finalized. The transfer fee is expected to be in the region of £35 million.
Sources close to the player say he is “thrilled” to be joining a club of Liverpool’s stature and is eager to begin working under Slot, who sees him as a key component of his evolving squad.
With the medical already scheduled and only final formalities remaining, Liverpool fans can expect an announcement soon. The future at Anfield looks increasingly promising as the club continues to invest in top young talent.
