OFFICIAL: Liverpool Sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth in £45M Transfer
Liverpool have secured the signing of 21-year-old Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth in a headline-grabbing £45 million deal. The talented youngster has penned a five-year contract that ties him to Anfield until June 2030.
After a standout debut season in the Premier League, Kerkez had attracted interest from several elite clubs across Europe.
Known for his blistering pace, fearless defending, and maturity on the ball, the Hungarian international ultimately chose Liverpool, who moved decisively to beat out both domestic and European rivals.
This acquisition forms part of Liverpool’s broader squad-building strategy as they enter a new chapter beyond the Jürgen Klopp era.
With Andy Robertson aging and recurring injury concerns at left-back, Kerkez arrives as both a long-term project and a serious contender for the starting spot.
Reacting to the move, Kerkez said:
> “Joining Liverpool is a dream come true. The club’s history, the passionate fans, and the winning mentality — it’s everything I’ve ever wanted. I’m excited to play at Anfield and help win trophies.”
Liverpool’s sporting director praised the signing:
> “Milos has been on our radar for some time. He fits the Liverpool profile perfectly — energetic, technically sharp, and fully committed. At 21, he has incredible potential, and we’re confident he’ll thrive here.”
Kerkez will wear the No. 21 shirt and link up with the squad for pre-season immediately.
Fans are already hyped about the signing, with hopes high that he’ll play a key role in Liverpool’s push to defend their Premier League title and mount a serious European challenge.
