Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool has successfully signed young Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, defeating Manchester United in the race for his signature.
According to Romano, the deal is nearly completed, with the transfer fee expected to be around £50 million, showcasing Liverpool’s commitment to strengthening their defense.
“Milos Kerkez is set to join Liverpool,” Romano revealed. “The deal is nearing completion, and Liverpool have managed to beat Manchester United to secure his signature. The transfer fee will be around £50 million. This is a major step in Liverpool’s defensive rebuild.”
A Bright Future for Kerkez at Anfield
At just 20 years old, Kerkez has been one of the standout performers for Bournemouth under manager Andoni Iraola this season. His pace, energy, and impressive attacking contributions quickly caught the attention of top Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, who have been seeking depth at left-back due to injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
However, it was Liverpool that won the race. With Andy Robertson’s career nearing its later stages and Kostas Tsimikas failing to make a significant impact, manager Jürgen Klopp was determined to find a long-term replacement, and Kerkez emerged as the ideal option for the future.
Kerkez’s Focus on the Present
Despite the intense transfer speculation surrounding him, Kerkez has remained calm and focused on his current responsibilities. He commented on the rumors, stating, “As a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, you dream of playing at the highest level and winning titles. But right now, I am fully focused on Bournemouth. These matters are for my agent and my father to handle.”
A Strategic Move for Liverpool
With his immense potential and consistent form, Kerkez is seen as a strategic signing that could help Liverpool build a stronger squad. If the deal is completed, it will be a significant boost to Liverpool’s ambitions to return to the top of the Premier League next season. Fans can now look forward to the arrival of a young, talented player who could play a key role in the club’s future success.
