Liverpool agree deal to sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for £40m
Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for £40m. The left-back is to undergo a medical next week before signing a five-year deal with the Premier League champions. The 21-year-old Hungary international has enjoyed two impressive seasons with Bournemouth after joining from AZ in July 2023, helping them finish ninth last season. Liverpool already have two left-backs in Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas. Robertson is of interest to Atlético Madrid and Tsimikas could well leave after spending five years largely as a back-up to the Scotland captain. Bournemouth have already brought in a replacement for Kerkez – Adrien Tuffert from Rennes, who will battle with January arrival Julio Soler for a starting place under Andoni Iraola next season. Liverpool are working hard in the transfer market.
