Milos Kerkez has been making waves across Europe with his standout performances, attracting interest from top clubs, sources tell CaughtOffside.
Liverpool is particularly keen on securing the young Hungarian talent. Under the leadership of director of football Richard Hughes—who previously worked with Kerkez at Bournemouth—talks have already commenced between the club and the player’s representatives.
The Reds are prepared to meet Bournemouth’s €45-50 million valuation of Kerkez, who is reportedly enthusiastic about the move, especially with the prospect of linking up with fellow Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai at Anfield.

Liverpool, however, is not the only club pursuing the talented left-back. Real Madrid has also expressed interest, considering him a potential successor to Theo Hernandez.
Juventus is closely monitoring the situation as they prepare for a possible departure of Andrea Cambiaso. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Arsenal are eager to bolster their squads, and Atletico Madrid is accelerating its efforts to secure a deal.
Kerkez’s Thoughts on His Future
Kerkez first gained attention with his performances at AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie before making the switch to Bournemouth, where he has continued to shine as a key defensive asset.
Speaking to The Athletic about his ambitions, Kerkez admitted his dream is to play at the highest level and win major trophies. However, he emphasized that his focus remains on the current season.
“These are things my agent and my dad handle,” he said. “I don’t let it distract me because the season is ongoing. The FA Cup is important for us, and there are still games left.
“When someone comes in for you, you never know what will happen or where you’ll end up. We’ll see what happens in the summer.”
