Milos Kerkez focused solely on Liverpool move as talks continue
Milos Kerkez is reportedly ignoring other offers as discussions with Liverpool progress regarding a possible summer transfer.
While the timing of the deal remains a factor, there’s growing confidence that the Hungarian left-back will become Liverpool’s third signing of the window.
He is expected to follow right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen and goalkeeper Armin Pecsi from Puskas Akademia. Florian Wirtz is anticipated to be the club’s fourth addition afterward.
Where do things stand with Kerkez’s potential transfer to Liverpool?
Liverpool have yet to finalize all aspects of a possible agreement with Bournemouth. However, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Kerkez is likely to be the next confirmed arrival.
“Liverpool have almost closed a verbal agreement for Milos Kerkez,” Romano shared on his YouTube channel. “It’s not a done deal yet, but they’re very close.”
He emphasized that while an official confirmation is pending, Kerkez has agreed personal terms and is simply waiting for Liverpool to give the go-ahead.
The full-back has made a strong impression after two excellent Premier League campaigns, and expectations are high that he’ll be a strong addition to the squad.
Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele also shared positive feedback on the player, noting that Kerkez has received glowing personal references: “I spoke at length with someone close to Kerkez today, and the feedback on his character was overwhelmingly positive.”
How does Kerkez stack up against Andy Robertson?
With Andy Robertson prepared to face competition in the 2025/26 season, stats suggest Kerkez could provide a more effective challenge than current backup Kostas Tsimikas.
Player Minutes Played xA Big Chances Created Successful Dribbles/Game
Andy Robertson 2,492 4.26 7 0.2 (41.2%)
Milos Kerkez 3,342 2.58 8 0.6 (56.4%)
Kostas Tsimikas 849 2.32 5 0.3 (50%)
While Robertson remains more creative overall, Kerkez’s potential could flourish in Liverpool’s attacking system, especially with higher-quality forward movement around him.
From Arne Slot’s perspective, it’s clear that Liverpool are emphasizing speed and dynamism on the flanks. Frimpong’s attacking threat on the right is likely to be mirrored by Kerkez on the left, allowing for aggressive overlapping runs and increased offensive pressure.
Kerkez might still need development in certain areas, but his immediate impact will come through energy, drive, and relentless forward play.
