Milos Kerkez, the 21-year-old Bournemouth full-back, has been a name floating around in the transfer rumors as Liverpool looks to strengthen its defensive options.

With uncertainty surrounding key players like Andy Robertson, Kostas Tsimikas, and Joe Gomez, many fans have speculated that the Reds could make a move for Kerkez.

His performances in England this season have caught the eye, and his national team partnership with Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai, who he has a strong connection with, only fuels the talk of a potential transfer.

As the January transfer window draws to a close, Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has provided some clarity on the situation.

Speaking ahead of his team’s upcoming match against Liverpool, Iraola addressed the ongoing speculation about Kerkez and other players.

“I don’t think anyone is gonna leave,” Iraola stated, before adding, “But, in the market you never know what is going to happen.

I don’t think, the plan is not [to sell any more].”

He continued, “The ones who are with us continue until the end of the season.

You don’t know, maybe we have an offer of crazy money for someone.”

Iraola’s words suggest that while the club is not actively looking to sell, they are open to the possibility if a significant offer comes in.

From Liverpool’s perspective, they may still keep an eye on Kerkez, but for now, it seems that Bournemouth plans to hold onto their key players for the remainder of the season.
