Milos Kerkez reveals his loyalty in a heartfelt message to Dean Huijsen after the defender joined Real Madrid, turning down Liverpool.
Kerkez Sends Support as Huijsen Joins Real Madrid
Milos Kerkez has shown his class off the pitch with a simple yet meaningful gesture to his Bournemouth teammate Dean Huijsen. Dean was officially presented as a Real Madrid player this week.
Huijsen was once a Liverpool target. But, he chose to move to the Spanish giants instead. Although, the Reds and other English clubs were keen to trigger his £50 million release clause. But, the young centre-back couldn’t resist Real’s pull.
His unveiling drew attention not only for the move itself but also for Kerkez’s reaction. Milos reacted with a red heart emoji posted on Instagram, resharing Huijsen’s celebratory post. The act didn’t go unnoticed by fans, highlighting Kerkez’s loyalty and strong bond with teammates. That is a quality Reds would value highly if they secure his signing.
Liverpool Ready to Pounce on Kerkez After Real Miss
The PL champions have already bolstered their defence with Jeremie Frimpong on the right. They are now eyeing Kerkez for the left-back role.
The 20-year-old defender has made a great impression at Bournemouth in his first season in the Premier League. He was even nominated for young player of the year.
Real Madrid once showed interest in Kerkez. But, his recent social media activity suggests he’s leaning towards joining the Reds. That is a big contrast to Huijsen’s decision. Arne Slot appears to be waiting to complete the signing of midfielder Florian Wirtz before stepping up efforts for Kerkez.
The Anfield side hopes his character can strengthen the squad. That is especially after his show of support to his ex-teammate. If the deal goes through, Kerkez could become a key figure in the new-look Liverpool defence under Arne Slot.
