Key Takeaways:
- Liverpool are preparing a £45 million bid for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez
- The Hungarian international has impressed with 2 goals and 5 assists in 29 league matches this season
- Bournemouth are also interested in signing Liverpool back-up goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher as part of a potential deal
Hungarian international Milos Kerkez appears to be in the final weeks of his Bournemouth stint, with the South Coast club planning to sell the left-back this summer. Liverpool have emerged as the leading candidate for his signature and are already preparing an offer for the 21-year-old.
According to The Times, Bournemouth will demand £45 million for Kerkez and are also keen on acquiring Liverpool’s back-up goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher as part of the deal.
Kerkez, born in Serbia but holding a Hungarian passport, came through the youth academy of Rapid Vienna and spent a brief spell at AC Milan. Bournemouth signed him from AZ Alkmaar in 2023, and the defender quickly cemented his status as one of the Premier League’s standout performers in his position.
In the current campaign, Kerkez has featured in 29 league matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 5 assists. The Hungarian has also caught the eye of Chelsea, and more recently, his performances have drawn attention from Real Madrid.
Kerkez recently acknowledged the interest from bigger clubs but said he has left all discussions about his future to his father, who also acts as his personal agent.
