Liverpool are closing in on a move for Milos Kerkez with the Hungarian keen to leave Bournemouth to become Andy Robertson’s primary competition for the left-back spot in Arne Slot’s side.

Liverpool are closing in on a move for Milos Kerkez

Now, with a deal for right-sided Jeremie Frimpong secured, the Reds appear to be turning their attention to left-back.

The Reds are in contact with Bournemouth and talks are advancing between the clubs, reported journalist Nico Schira and later Fabrizio Romano.

The asking price is reported to be about £45 million

Unlike with Frimpong, Kerkez doesn’t have a release clause so Liverpool and Bournemouth will need to come to an agreement over the fee, the asking price is reported to be about £45 million.

The negotiations could be made smoother by the fact Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, joined from Bournemouth last summer and has maintained a good relationship with his former club.

Despite interest from at least three other teams, Man City, AC Milan and Napoli

Despite interest from at least three other teams, Man City, AC Milan and Napoli, personal terms are believed to have been agreed with Milos Kerkez who is keen on the move.

Liverpool were also interested in another Bournemouth defender, Dean Huijsen, but he has agreed to join Real Madrid at the end of the campaign after the Spanish giants activated his £50 million release clause.

Liverpool reportedly organised a ‘leaving party’ for Alexander-Arnold at their training centre, which angered a section of the fans. The player was also booed at Anfield during the 2-2 draw with Arsenal on May 11.
