Liverpool are reportedly nearing a deal to sign Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, after the player hinted at a possible transfer now that the Premier League season has ended.
The 21-year-old Hungarian international had an outstanding season, starting all 38 games for Bournemouth and recording two goals and six assists.
His consistent form has drawn attention from major clubs, with Liverpool leading the race to secure his signature.
Transfer speculation intensified after Kerkez shared a cryptic message on social media:
“I don’t know what will happen in the next week, but Cherries family, thank you!”
Many have taken this as a farewell message to Bournemouth supporters.
With veteran defender Andy Robertson struggling to maintain top form, Liverpool view Kerkez as a promising addition who can bring youth, speed, attacking strength, and depth to their defensive line.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, talks between Liverpool and Bournemouth are advancing smoothly, and personal terms are not expected to pose an obstacle.
Should the transfer go through, Kerkez would reunite with fellow Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai at Anfield, potentially adding a strong national connection to the squad.
Fresh off a Premier League title, manager Arne Slot is now focusing on strengthening the team, with Kerkez just one part of their ambitious summer plans.
Liverpool’s marquee signing is expected to be Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, while midfielder Harvey Elliott may be headed for a departure.
