Liverpool have started negotiations to sign Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez. The Hungarian defender also wants the move, and both parties could reach a deal soon as Liverpool aim to accelerate talks—especially amid rumours linking Andy Robertson with a move away from the Merseyside club this summer.
Liverpool view Kerkez as a long-term replacement for Andy Robertson and someone who can compete with Kostas Tsimikas at the club. At 21, Liverpool strongly believe Kerkez will develop into one of the best full-backs in the world under their guidance.
Kerkez has had an impressive season with Bournemouth this year. The Hungarian defender has scored twice and provided six assists in the Premier League.
Bournemouth value Kerkez at around £45 million, but Liverpool want to negotiate a lower fee. Milos Kerkez has already agreed to join the Premier League champions, and the deal could accelerate immediately after the Premier League season ends.
After securing a deal for Jeremie Frimpong, Liverpool plan to add Milos Kerkez to their squad before facilitating the sale of players like Robertson and Darwin Núñez. If Liverpool raise enough funds this summer, the club would like to sign a proven striker and a central midfielder.
