Milos Kerkez is a target Liverpool are very interested in in the summer transfer window of 2025. After parting ways with Trent Alexander-Arnold, the Merseyside side are likely to part ways with Andy Robertson. Thus, the once-legendary wing pair of The Kop will retreat into the future after very successful years.
To prepare for the farewell to Trent, Liverpool welcomed Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen to play at right-back. In the context of Roberton's decline in physical strength while Tsimikas has not yet broken into the big star ranks, captain Arne Slot really needs a young, strong, and potential player to be worthy of Frimpong on the other wing.
The chosen one is Milos Kerkez, the 21-year-old Serbian star. In the last season in the Premier League, Kerkez played outstandingly for Bournemouth, being sought after by many big clubs, not just Liverpool. However, this young talent has repeatedly hinted at wanting to join the Anfield team and was fortunate to be opened by the home team.
Last season, Kerkez started all 38 of Bournemouth's Premier League games. This is a very impressive figure because it shows his endurance and confidence in the Vitality home team. Not only appearing continuously, Kerkez also has impressive attacking ability. He has 6 goals and 2 assists, helping Bournemouth finish 9th.
In the national team, Kerkez has made 23 appearances for the Hungarian national team, since his first appearance in 2022. Before that, Kerkez had planned to join Serbia but luckily it did not come.
Milos Kerkez joined Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar for around £15.5 million ($20 million) in July 2023. He has made 67 appearances for Bournemouth in the last 2 seasons and is considered a bright young star of the tournament. If he joins Liverpool, Kerkez's value could reach 40 million pounds. This is not a small number for a 21-year-old talent who has not yet reached the peak of his title.
If the deal with Kerkez is completed, the young Hungarian star will become Liverpool's fourth contract this summer, following the arrivals of compatriots Armin Pecsi (Puskas Akademia), Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen).
In preparation for the farewell to Milos Kerkez, AFC Bournemouth has completed the signing of left-back Adrien Truffert (Rennes). Previously, in the winter transfer window, Bournemouth signed a contract from Argentina's youngster - Julio Soler in the same position.
