Dominik Szoboszlai Backs Milos Kerkez Amid Liverpool Transfer Speculation
Dominik Szoboszlai publicly supported Milos Kerkez after an impressive display, even as rumors swirl about the Bournemouth left-back potentially joining Liverpool.
Bournemouth strengthened their chances of qualifying for European competition next season with a 2-1 away victory over Arsenal, completing a season sweep of Mikel Arteta’s team. Declan Rice initially put the Gunners ahead, but Bournemouth struck back in the second half through Dean Huijsen and Evanilson.
Kerkez played a pivotal role in the win, successfully containing Bukayo Saka and contributing significantly to the Cherries’ vital three points.
Despite his growing influence at Bournemouth, speculation about his departure persists. Football Insider reports that Kerkez is open to a summer exit, with Liverpool showing serious interest in the 21-year-old.
Unfazed by the speculation, Kerkez posted a motivational message on Instagram after the win, stating: “We believe.”
Szoboszlai, his Hungary national teammate, responded to the post with “We do” and a heart emoji, further igniting transfer speculation.
Other Bournemouth teammates also showed their support, with Huijsen commenting with a fire emoji and Justin Kluivert calling Kerkez a “Star BOY” alongside a star emoji.
According to Football Insider, Szoboszlai is playing an important behind-the-scenes role in Liverpool’s pursuit of Kerkez, with the deal reportedly making strong progress. The duo’s close bond and frequent interactions have seemingly put Liverpool in a favorable position to land the rising star, who has been identified as a potential long-term successor to Andy Robertson.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth are also preparing for interest in Dean Huijsen, who is attracting attention from top clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Real Madrid, thanks to his calm presence and strength at center-back.
