Milos Kerkez set for Liverpool medical as Reds tie up final details of £40m deal with Bournemouth

According to Sky Germany, after weeks of negotiations with the south coast club, the Reds have reached a full agreement to secure the Hungarian defender's services. Initial talks between the sides had stalled due to disagreements over the fee, with Bournemouth standing firm on their valuation. However, all parties have now found common ground, allowing Liverpool to finalise personal terms and proceed with medical tests.

Sources close to the deal indicate that Kerkez's medical has already been scheduled for next week. Provided everything goes according to plan, he is expected to sign a long-term contract at Anfield and will be unveiled shortly thereafter.

Kerkez enjoyed a standout season under Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth, starting all 38 Premier League matches during the 2024–25 campaign. He is being earmarked as the long-term heir to Andy Robertson, who has served as Liverpool’s first-choice left-back for the better part of a decade. In anticipation of Kerkez’s departure, Bournemouth have already made their move in the transfer market as the Cherries have announced the arrival of French left-back Adrien Truffert from Ligue 1 side Rennes.

Kerkez is expected to become one of several new faces at Anfield this summer. He follows in the footsteps of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, while a deal for Florian Wirtz is also in the final stages.
