Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing 21-year-old Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool are ready to launch a £40 million move to sign Hungarian international Milos Kerkez from fellow Premier League club Bournemouth in the summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old defender has done quite well for the Cherries, and he is certainly one of the most exciting full-backs in the Premier League. The youngster could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Liverpool, and he would help them improve at both ends of the pitch.
Andrew Robertson has been an exceptional performer for Liverpool since joining the club. However, he is clearly on the decline, and Liverpool will need to replace him in the summer. The Scottish international is a club legend, but Liverpool will have to be cutthroat while improving their squad if they want to match up to the elite clubs.
Signing a younger alternative this summer should be a priority for them, with Kerkez emerging as the top target for Liverpool. The Bournemouth defender has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he is certainly good enough to play for Liverpool.
The reported £40 million asking price might seem steep right now. But the player has the quality to justify the in the coming seasons. Meanwhile, a report by TEAMtalk has claimed that the Cherries are ready to hold a meeting to discuss the youngster’s future.
Liverpool have the Hungarian national team captain Dominik Szoboszlai at their disposal, and the midfielder could play a key role in convincing his compatriot to move to Anfield this summer. It remains to be seen whether all parties can secure an agreement quickly.
Can Liverpool wrap up the move quickly?
The 21-year-old highly-rated full-back has been linked with other Premier League clubs as well, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can move swiftly and secure the deal in the coming weeks.
Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be quite exciting for the young defender. He will be hoping to compete in the UEFA Champions League regularly with them and fight for major trophies. Furthermore, playing alongside top-class players at Liverpool could help him improve further and fulfill his world-class potential.
