Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing 21-year-old Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Football Insider, Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai could play a key role in helping Liverpool sign 21-year-old Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez in the summer transfer window.
It will be interesting to see if the Liverpool midfielder can convince his compatriot to join him at Liverpool in the summer. It is no secret that Liverpool need a quality left-back in the summer. Andrew Robertson has been a shadow of his former self this season, and Kostas Tsimikas is simply not good enough to start for a club hoping to win league titles and the UEFA Champions League.
Meanwhile, the Hungarian international has been heavily linked with the move to Manchester United in recent months. However, a report from TEAMtalk has claimed that the Red Devils have now cooled their interest in Milos Kerkez.
The development will come as a major boost for Liverpool, and they will be hoping to get the deal across the line. The highly-rated defender is valued at £40 million, and Liverpool certainly have the finances to sign him.
The Reds need to improve their squad further if they want to continue competing at the highest level, and the 21-year-old would be a long-term investment for them. Milos Kerkez could replace Robertson in the long run and add more quality to the site.
Kerkez could fancy Liverpool move
The opportunity to join Liverpool will be quite exciting for Milos Kerkez as well. It would be a major step up in the youngster’s career, and he would get to fight for major trophies on a regular basis.
The presence of Szoboszlai will certainly help Liverpool convince the young defender, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. Liverpool have put together a quality squad and if they can bring in a couple of intelligent additions during the summer transfer window, they could fight for major trophies once again in next season.
Meanwhile, the £40 million asking price might seem like a premium right now. However, Kerkez has the potential to justify the investment in the long run. He could prove to be a bargain if he manages to fulfill his potential. However, Liverpool must be wary of other European bigwigs, with Real Madrid also keen on signing him.
