Liverpool Closing in on £40M Move for Bournemouth Star Milos Kerkez
June 4, 2025
Liverpool are reportedly close to finalizing a £40 million deal to sign Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, as the Reds look to bolster their defensive options ahead of the 2025/26 season.
The 20-year-old Hungarian international has impressed in the Premier League with his dynamic performances and mature defensive displays, quickly establishing himself as one of the league’s brightest young talents. His potential has not gone unnoticed, and Liverpool have now made their move.
Sources suggest that talks between the two clubs have progressed significantly, with personal terms unlikely to be a stumbling block. The Reds view Kerkez as a key addition to their backline, especially with the long-term future of current left-back Andrew Robertson under review.
Kerkez joined Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar in 2023 and has since become a regular starter under Andoni Iraola. His blend of pace, technical skill, and defensive discipline has drawn comparisons to some of Europe’s elite full-backs.
Liverpool’s new manager Arne Slot is believed to be a strong admirer of Kerkez and sees him as a perfect fit for his tactical system. If completed, the transfer would mark the first major signing of the Slot era at Anfield.
An official announcement could come later this week as the clubs work to finalize the details.
