Liverpool receive a huge transfer boost as Bournemouth interest in Real Madrid star surfaces.
Liverpool are in hot pursuit of Bournemouth’s left-back, Milos Kerkez.
The 21-year-old Hungarian has been a standout performer for the Cherries this season, drawing attention from top clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United.
With Andy Robertson now 30, for the Reds, looking for a long-term replacement may not be a far fetched idea.
And Kerkez, who has impressed in the Premier League looks to fits the bill perfectly.
Reports suggest Liverpool have already initiated talks for a deal potentially worth £50 million.
This week, Dominik Szoboszlai, Kerkez’s national teammate and a Liverpool player, added fuel to the rumors.
His comments hinted at the Reds’ interest, giving fans hope that the club could secure one of Europe’s brightest young defenders.
However, Bournemouth’s plans to replace Kerkez could accelerate the deal, which might just give Liverpool the edge they need.
Liverpool receive transfer boost as Bournemouth interest in Real Madrid star surfaces
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola is preparing for life without Kerkez and has identified Real Madrid’s Fran García as a top target, as per Spanish outlet Relevo.
Iraola previously worked with Garcia during their time at Rayo Vallecano.
The Spanish coach wants to reunite with the 25-year-old left-back to improve the quality of his side.
Fran Garcia has been a positive surprise for Real Madrid this season.
The Castilla product has impressed, even taking over Ferland Mendy’s starting role.
According to reports, Garcia is “happy at Madrid,” but his future is uncertain as the club pursues Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies.
Garcia’s form hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Bournemouth’s interest signals their serious intent to replace Kerkez, which would allow Liverpool a smoother path to their top defensive target.
Garcia’s departure is not guaranteed, though, as Madrid reportedly “know they have a good player that they will not let go at any price.”
This situation creates a domino effect.
If Bournemouth land Garcia, Liverpool will have a clearer shot at signing Kerkez, strengthening their defense for years to come.
The Reds now await further developments, knowing they might be just one step away from a major coup.
