Liverpool have made Hungary and Bournemouth 21-year-old marauding left back Milos Kerkez one of the club’s top summer transfer targets as sporting director Richard Hughes and the recruitment team look to bolster manager Arne Slot’s squad ahead of a title defence in 2025-26.
Increasingly, it seems that the question is when and not if Kerkez becomes a Liverpool player, and there’s been plenty of chatter in recent days about the Reds being willing to meet Bournemouth’s asking price of between £40-45M and personal terms are believed to have already been agreed.
Now, there’s scuttle that the answer could turn out to be much sooner than later following confirmation that the player has departed the Hungary camp and won’t play in their Friday friendly against Sweden, with speculation and suggestions that he could in fact be headed to Merseyside for a medical.
Add in a teasing Tweet from Kerkez and a few potential planes for eager Liverpool fans to track and there’s not a lot of solid info but plenty of speculative smoke—which all might all easily mean nothing were it not for the fact Kerekz to Liverpool really does seem only a question of when and not if.
