In a twist to Liverpool’s summer transfer window, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Florian Wirtz is not the next signing, despite swirling rumors. Instead, the club’s focus has shifted to Hungarian left-back Milo Kerkez, and the deal is practically sealed — Here we go! 📝🔴
🔥 The Details:
Milo Kerkez, currently at Bournemouth, has been identified as Arne Slot’s ideal full-back signing.
Romano states that personal terms have been agreed and final negotiations with Bournemouth are complete.
The fee is reported to be in the £25–30 million range, viewed as a bargain for one of Europe’s most promising young defenders.
💬 Romano’s Statement:
> “Liverpool’s next signing is already decided, and it’s a big one. Not Wirtz, not another attacker… it’s Milo Kerkez. Deal in place, here we go soon.”
🧠 Why Kerkez?
Only 20 years old, yet already making waves in the Premier League.
Known for his pace, energy, and fearless overlapping runs — tailor-made for Arne Slot’s dynamic system.
Seen as the long-term successor to Andrew Robertson.
🔴 What It Means for Liverpool:
Strengthens the left flank with youth and aggression.
Signals a strategic summer, prioritizing balance and Slot-style players.
Could open the door for tactical shifts — possibly rotating Robertson more or even experimenting with a back-three setup.
More announcements are expected soon as Liverpool reshape the squad for Arne Slot’
s era. All eyes now on Anfield. 👀
