There have been widespread reports that Liverpool is stepping up its efforts to sign Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez.

It looks like the former Red could have his wish granted with the Telegraph stating Liverpool is ‘expected to be in the running’ for Kerkez when he ‘goes on the market in the summer’.



The outlet also claims that the 21-year-old could cost upwards of £40million ($51m) and Liverpool could try and entice Kerkez given his relationship with sporting director Richard Hughes, who signed the player for Bournemouth in 2023.

“Kerkez is thought to be on Liverpool’s radar for when they look at bolstering their options at left-back,” claims the Telegraph, while adding: “Other clubs in Europe are set to be part of the race.”

Meanwhile, transfer reporter Ben Jacobs has claimed via Give Me Sport that Kerkez is ‘likely to leave the Cherries this summer and has changed agents in anticipation of an exit’.

The report adds that Manchester United had previously monitored the full-back, while Chelsea and Real Madrid retain interest, however the latter is focusing on signing a right-back at this stage.

Other outlets have since reported that Kerkez is a clear Liverpool transfer target, and it looks like a story that will continue to rumble on over the coming months.
