Liverpool Secure Milos Kerkez in £45M Transfer from Bournemouth
Liverpool have officially signed 21-year-old Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth in a stunning £45 million deal. The promising defender has penned a five-year contract that ties him to the reigning Premier League champions until June 2030.
Kerkez caught the attention of Europe’s elite during an impressive debut season in the Premier League, earning praise for his blistering speed, aggressive approach, and maturity on the pitch. Despite interest from several top-tier clubs, Liverpool emerged victorious in the chase for his signature.
The signing aligns with Liverpool’s efforts to bolster their squad in the post-Jürgen Klopp era. With Andy Robertson entering his 30s and injuries impacting the left-back position, Kerkez is seen as both a future asset and an immediate contender for a starting spot.
Speaking after the deal was confirmed, Kerkez shared his excitement:
“Joining Liverpool is a dream come true. The club’s history, the fans, and the winning culture are all amazing. I’m eager to step out at Anfield and help fight for trophies.”
Liverpool’s sporting director praised the acquisition:
“Milos has been on our radar for some time. His energy, technical ability, and attitude perfectly match what we value in a Liverpool player. At 21, his potential is immense, and we’re confident he’ll thrive here.”
Kerkez will don the number 21 shirt and is set to begin pre-season training with the team. Supporters are already thrilled about the addition, as the young full-back prepares to help the club defend their league title and push for more success on the European stage
