Liverpool are confident of signing Bournemouth’s standout left-back Milos Kerkez.
Liverpool are stepping up their pursuit of Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, with growing confidence that a deal can be struck this summer.
The 21-year-old Hungary international, who joined the Cherries from AZ Alkmaar in 2023, has caught the eye with his impressive performances on the south coast.
Bournemouth have set a price tag of around £40 million, but Liverpool believe the investment could pay off handsomely.
Here are three key reasons why the Reds are so keen on bringing Kerkez to Anfield.

Benni McCarthy Drops 2 Players in Final 24-Man Squad for Chad Friendlies
Benni McCarthy has named his 24-man travelling Harambee Stars squad to Morocco to take on Chad in back-to-back friendly encounters as he continues preparing charges for CHAN 2024.
1. Richard Hughes Connection
)
Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, is no stranger to Milos Kerkez.
Hughes was instrumental in bringing the Hungarian defender to Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar in 2023.
This prior relationship gives Liverpool a unique advantage in negotiations and a deep understanding of the player's potential and character.
Hughes’ faith in Kerkez remains strong, and he now sees the left-back as a key addition to Liverpool’s evolving squad under Arne Slot.

McDonald Mariga Reveals When Wanyama Football Academy in Busia Will Be Opened
McDonald Mariga has revealed why the Wanyama Football Academy, which he co-owns with his brother Victor, has yet to be opened two years since announcing to the public it was close to completion.
2. Long-Term Solution at Left-Back
)
With Andy Robertson entering his thirties and recent injury concerns highlighting a lack of depth on the left side of defence, Liverpool are in search of a long-term successor.
At just 21, Kerkez fits the profile of a player who can grow into the role and potentially cement the position for years to come.
The fullback's blend of energy, aggression, and composure on the ball has already made him one of Bournemouth’s standout performers in the Premier League.

Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga has attracted interest from a Middle East club as he weighs multiple offers coming his way after his departure from Al Duhail.
3. Player Keen on the Move
)
One of the most encouraging aspects of the deal from Liverpool’s perspective is that Kerkez himself is understood to be eager for the switch to Anfield according to Sky Sports.
Personal terms are not expected to be a stumbling block, and that willingness from the player can be a decisive factor in pushing the deal over the line.
Kerkez's ambition aligns with Liverpool’s and Arne Slot's project, making this a mutually appealing opportunity.
Kerkez has three years remaining on his current deal, which gives Bournemouth a strong negotiating position, but Liverpool’s growing confidence suggests talks are progressing well.
With Hughes' prior connection, a clear long-term need in the squad, and the player's own enthusiasm, a summer move to Merseyside is beginning to look increasingly likely.
