Liverpool has been interested in Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez for a long time. Things off the field have made it easier for the deal to happen. Reports say that Bournemouth has found a possible replacement for Kerkez in Rennes defender Adrien Truffert. This is a key piece of the puzzle that needs to fall into place before Kerkez can leave the south coast club. People are seeing that agreement as a sign that Liverpool can go ahead and sign the left-back from Hungary.
Liverpool has been interested in the 21-year-old for a long time. Talks between the two clubs are still going on because the Premier League champions are very interested. Liverpool wants to find a long-term replacement for their left-back, and Kerkez’s speed, attacking threat, and experience in the Premier League with Bournemouth made him a top target. Reports said that personal terms were not likely to be a problem. A fee of £40–45 million was mentioned many times.
Liverpool’s manager Arne Slot has focused on bringing in young, dynamic players, and Kerkez fits that description. Before the green light signals, Liverpool had already agreed to a full transfer with Bournemouth. Kerkez passed his medical and signed a long-term contract at Anfield.
These changes are happening at the same time as other transfers, such as the possible move of veteran left-back Andy Robertson to Tottenham Hotspur and the possible recall of Kostas Tsimikas from his loan at Roma to fill in if Robertson leaves.
