Milos Kerkez is on Liverpool’s transfer radar in what could be a potential £45 million switch.
Liverpool are ‘closing to finalising’ a deal for Milos Kerkez, it has been suggested.
Left-back is a position that Arne Slot’s Premier League champions are also aiming to strengthen. Andy Robertson has served as first choice for the past eight years and won as many major trophies during his time at Anfield - including two league titles and the Champions League. But Robertson is now aged 31 and a long-term successor is required.
Kerkez transfer latest
Kerkez has been on Liverpool’s wish list for some time. The 21-year-old enjoyed an excellent 2024-25 campaign with AFC Bournemouth. They finished ninth in the table with a club-record points tally of 56. Kerkez started every game, scoring twice and creating six goals.
The Reds have been in discussions with Bournemouth over a potential deal that could be in the region of £45 million. And according to reporter Rudy Galetti, the two clubs are thrashing out the finer details before Kerkez undergoes a medical.
Galetti posted on X: “#Liverpool and #Bournemouth are close to finalising the last details for Milos #Kerkez, with talks in recent days focused on bonus structure - as revealed. ⏳ Just the final fine-tuning left: then it’ll be time to schedule medicals and move to signatures. 🔜✅ #LFC”
Kerkez updates
Kerkez left international duty with Hungary last week ahead of their friendly against Sweden. Head coach Marco Rossi did not give a reason why the former AC Milan full-back would not feature and isn’t expected to play against Azerbaijan on Tuesday night.
"Of course, a few problems may creep in, for example, for various reasons, neither Milos Kerkez nor Barnabas Varga will be in tomorrow's match,” said Rossi before the 2-0 loss.
Speaking on his future, Kerkez recently said during a documentary for MLSZ TV (via Nemzeti Sport): "Of course, something always leaks into the news, I don't know how. At the same time, I think it's normal that if you play well and the team does well, then you get into the news and end up on the front page, and everyone talks about you. I see this as fuel that drives me forward. All this doesn't break me, but it doesn't 'boost' my ego either, but it teaches me humility and motivates me.”
