Talks with Bournemouth have entered their final stage, and an agreement now looks imminent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"507\" data-end=\"925\">Transfer ethusiast Fabrizio Romano delivered a significant update on Wednesday morning, stating that Liverpool are prepared to push the deal over the line with one more round of talks. \u201cLiverpool are prepared to seal Milos Kerkez deal with one more round of talks to get it over the line,\u201d Romano posted. \u201cBournemouth and Liverpool are finalising the agreement after personal terms in place last week.

With the club coming off a Premier League-winning campaign in Slot\u2019s first season, the intention is to build a squad capable of sustaining success. Jeremie Frimpong has already signed from Bayer Leverkusen for \u00a329.4m, while exits such as Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid and Caoimhin Kelleher to Brentford have reshaped the squad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1389\" data-end=\"1588\">Kerkez, 20, has long been on Liverpool\u2019s radar. Bournemouth are holding out for a fee close to \u00a345m, and though no official confirmation has come yet, all signs point to a deal being wrapped up soon.<\/p>\n<p>Milos Kerkez can\u2019t wait to join Liverpool<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1858\">Speaking on his YouTube channel earlier this week, Fabrizio Romano gave fans a glimpse of the player\u2019s mindset. \u201cThe agreement with the player is done. I\u2019m told that Milos Kerkez can\u2019t wait to join Liverpool,\u201d Romano said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1860\" data-end=\"2093\">\u201cHe\u2019s really tempted by this opportunity, tempted to be part of this fantastic squad, believing that Liverpool were already fantastic in the season just completed, and it\u2019s going to be even better in the next one with more additions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2095\" data-end=\"2309\">\u201cThere is a fantastic feeling at the moment between Liverpool and Kerkez. The agent is the same agent who represents Federico Chiesa, so the relationship is very good, and now Liverpool are advancing on this deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/imago1060731578-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\"  \/>Photo IMAGO<br \/>\nFuture-proofing the left-back role<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2350\" data-end=\"2592\">Andy Robertson remains a key figure at Anfield, but with only a year left on his contract and having turned 31 in March, the club is clearly planning ahead. Kerkez offers energy, aggression and potential, making him an ideal long-term option.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2594\" data-end=\"2899\">Jamie Carragher was full of praise for the young defender earlier in the season on Sky Sports\u2019 Monday Night Football. \u201cHe\u2019s aggressive, he\u2019s got pace. Even when you look at him, he looks like a full-back. Little, really aggressive, after wingers on that side. He\u2019s just bombing up and down that left side.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2901\" data-end=\"3108\">\u201cHe\u2019s been superb since he\u2019s come into the Premier League with Bournemouth, and he\u2019s probably one to watch for the future, whether he stays at the club or moves on, because he\u2019s made that much of an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3110\" data-end=\"3255\">If all goes as expected, Kerkez will become the second major signing of Liverpool\u2019s summer, and a key piece of Arne Slot\u2019s vision moving forward.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anfieldindex.com\/join\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Join AI Pro\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1749020479_288_Zero-Ads-Go-Pro-Large.png\" alt=\"Join AI Pro\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are wasting no time in shaping the squad for the new season, with Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85086,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[47171,1121,66543,748,393,66544,1123,8641,4884,66545,179,763,16121,64851,10309,66546,1127,16123,47182,20480,9431,66547,66548,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-156849","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-andy-robertson-future","9":"tag-arne-slot","10":"tag-bournemouth-defender","11":"tag-britain","12":"tag-england","13":"tag-fabrizio-romano-liverpool","14":"tag-featured","15":"tag-football-news","16":"tag-great-britain","17":"tag-kerkez-transfer-update","18":"tag-liverpool","19":"tag-liverpool-fc","20":"tag-liverpool-left-back","21":"tag-liverpool-signings","22":"tag-liverpool-squad-rebuild","23":"tag-liverpool-summer-deals","24":"tag-liverpool-transfer-news","25":"tag-milos-kerkez","26":"tag-milos-kerkez-liverpool","27":"tag-premier-league-2025","28":"tag-premier-league-transfers","29":"tag-reds-transfer-news","30":"tag-transfer-latest","31":"tag-uk","32":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
