Liverpool’s pursuit of Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez appears to be advancing rapidly, with reports indicating that the Hungarian international has already given his “yes” to the Liverpool project.
Personal terms are understood to be no issue, suggesting a smooth path for the player’s side of the deal.
Club-to-club talks are now underway between Liverpool and Bournemouth.
While Liverpool’s transfer team is also heavily engaged in negotiations for highly-rated German midfielder Florian Wirtz, they are maintaining regular contact with Bournemouth to finalize the Kerkez deal.
This suggests a multi-faceted and busy transfer window for the Reds as they look to strengthen their squad.
Kerkez, who turns 22 in November, joined Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar in July 2023 and quickly established himself as a key player at left-back, making 38 appearances in the Premier League this season.
He is currently under contract with Bournemouth until June 2028.
All signs point to this deal being “absolutely on,” with Liverpool pushing to secure their targets early in the summer window.
The potential arrival of Kerkez would provide strong competition for Andrew Robertson at left-back, adding depth and quality to Liverpool’s defensive options. 🔛🇭🇺
