Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing 21-year-old Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Liverpool have been in touch with Milos Kerkez’s agents to find out about his desires and the conditions of any potential deal.

Meanwhile, the report claims that Bournemouth are keen on keeping the defender beyond this season, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool can convince them to sell the player if they step up their interest. The fact that the Cherries are uninterested in selling the defender will come as a blow for Liverpool, and it remains to be seen how they adapt.

The Scottish International has shown signs of decline, and he will need to be replaced adequately. The Hungarian International has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he’s good enough for the biggest clubs in the world.
