Liverpool are expected to bring Milos Kerkez to Anfield in the close season with Bournemouth set to demand at least £40 million for the Hungarian left-back.
According to Give Me Sport, Liverpool are expected to win the race for Milos Kerkez in the summer, with the Hungarian full-back emerging as their top target. Arne Slot is expected to make changes to his backline, which could see new defenders arrive, and the Dutch manager also seeks reinforcements for the left-back slot.
Liverpool are set for a pivotal summer window ahead, with plenty of changes afoot. The Merseyside outfit are bracing for major departures, with names like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah running down their contracts, while the future of Ibrahima Konate also coming under a cloud of doubt.
Arne Slot is also looking closely at the left-back situation, with the Dutch manager keen to reinforce that position with a new option. Antonee Robinson and Milos Kerkez have been mentioned as key targets ahead of the summer, with the latter preferred to the former.
Bournemouth are expected to concede defeat in their efforts to hold on to the Hungarian international, with the Cherries demanding at least £40 million. Milos Kerkez has three years left on his deal, which does allow the South Coast club to have power in negotiations.
Liverpool prefer Kerkez as their priority option for the left-back position, with the report stating they are unfazed by Bournemouth’s asking price. The Hungarian has reportedly told friends he’ll join the Reds in the close season, as a transfer is expected to go through.
Liverpool to seal Milos Kerkez transfer?
Kerkez has proved his worth in a Bournemouth shirt as one of the lethal left-backs this season. He certainly suits Liverpool’s style in that role, which has ensured the £40 million-rated highly-rated Premier League full-back is their top target ahead of the summer.
Liverpool are expected to seal the transfer for the left-back as soon as the market opens in the close season. The move for Molos Kerkez could potentially see one of Andy Robertson or Kostas Tsimikas depart the club for a fresh challenge elsewhere, and the Hungarian international is widely expected to take the starting berth should he arrive at the club.
