According to the latest reports, Arne Slot’s side has agreed a £40 million deal for the Hungarian defender.

The 21-year-old impressed for the Cherries last season, and courted attention from numerous top clubs.

Assuming all goes well, Kerkez will then sign a five-year contract, keeping him at Anfield until 2030.

Milos Kerkez Liverpool Transfer Confirmed

Romano said: “BREAKING: Milos Kerkez to Liverpool, here we go! Plan from May confirmed as it’s all agreed between clubs.

Fans React To Kerkez Transfer News

The news of Milos Kerkez’s Liverpool transfer has been met with overwhelming positivity by Liverpool fans.

One user replied to Romano’s Tweet, saying: “Liverpool fans are really eating good! What a window!

Another added: “We are gonna win it [the Premier League] again and again and again and again.”

And a third fan said: “Liverpool signing the best young full back in the Premier League and the best young playmaker in Europe on the same day.

“What a time to be a Liverpool fan.”

Even opposition fans have had to acknowledge the Red are signing a great player.

One Manchester United supporter begrudgingly put: “Liverpool means business. Good signing for them, but I hope he fails.”

Liverpool have already confirmed the arrival of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, with teammate Florian Wirtz likely to follow soon.

As a result, the Premier League club’s summer signings are already getting fans excited for the new season.

How Good Is Milos Kerkez?

Milos Kerkez started all 38 Premier League games for Bournemouth last season.

He scored a very impressive six goals as a left-back, and added two assists.

Kerkez previously helped Dutch side AZ Alkmaar to a fourth-place finish in the 2022-23 Eredivisie season, as well as reaching that year’s Conference League semi-finals.

Known for his tireless work-rate and ability to bomb up and down the left flank, he is an exciting signing for Arne Slot.

A capable one-versus-one defender, Kerkez also ranked among the top ten Premier League players for both number of sprints and distance covered in 2024-25.

In terms of weaknesses, some have criticised his passing ability. And despite standing at 5ft 11in, Kerkez is sometimes described as weak in aerial duels.

But both of these are areas that can be worked on, and at 21-years-old, the Hungarian international has plenty of time to improve.

Where Is Milos Kerkez From?

Born in Serbia on 7 November, 2003, Milos Kerkez plays for the Hungarian national team.

Growing up in Serbia, he played youth football for OFK Vrbas before signing for Austrian side Rapid Vienna in 2014.

He remained in Austria until 2019, then joined Hódmezővásárhely in Hungary.

He has previously explained that despite the country of this birth, both his Serbian father and Hungarian grandmother wanted him to represent Hungary internationally.

Kerkez speaks fluent Serbian, Hungarian, English and German.
