Liverpool fans have been handed a major boost in the race for Milos Kerkez, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that both club and player have been in talks for weeks.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the journalist delivered a confident update: “The next one that is going to happen for Liverpool is Milos Kerkez.

“So get ready Liverpool fans because maybe today they can tell you about a club to club first contact.

“No – Liverpool and Bournemouth have been speaking for weeks.

“Liverpool and the agent of Kerkez have been speaking for weeks. So the next one is going to be Milos Kerkez.”

It’s a huge hint that the Hungary international could follow Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi through the door at Anfield.

The 21-year-old left back has been a standout performer at Bournemouth since joining in 2023.

He played 41 games in all competitions last season, scoring twice and providing six assists.

He also boasts a strong link with Dominik Szoboszlai, having lined up alongside our No.8 for the Hungary national team.

The fact that Arne Slot, Richard Hughes and the recruitment team have already been in long-term discussions with both Bournemouth and the player’s camp, puts us firmly in the driving seat.

With Kostas Tsimikas having two years remaining on his contract and interest growing from elsewhere, it’s clear our recruitment team are acting fast to futureproof the left side of our defence.

The Hungary international will likely be viewed as current competition and a long-term replacement for Andy Robertson, who has already discussed the probable arrival of the Hungarian, within the team.

Kerkez would offer natural width and attacking threat from deep but could also free up other tactical options, particularly with Jeremie Frimpong now in on the opposite flank.

With this update from Romano confirming that “Liverpool and the agent of Kerkez have been speaking for weeks”, the question now isn’t if – but when.

  1. WOW!!! I’m so shocked…why report this, my grandad knew this and he’s been dead for over 30 years

    1. Hahaha. I feel the same.

      And I have no idea why they keep quoting Romano. He is not even an “authorative” source, but he sure is the “loudest tin can”.

      Look at how the whole Writz saga, he keeps reporting in discussion, final stages, deal is happening, Liverpool just need to agree on the details. (And its not only for this, but for many others)

      If Liverpool agree to the deal, it will be like “see, I told you” but if Liverpool doesn’t, then it will be like “well things like this can happen, they are still discussing”.

      It’s like saying something but actually not saying anything.

  2. I’m tired of hearing this type of news. It’s a matter of time, everything is going well, blah blah blah.
    What the heck is going on? It’s either a deal done or not and we move on.

  3. I’m fed up of Liverpool transfer articles cutting pasting from the toilet..

    It usually starts by telling us we only bought Chiesa and Mamashivii. It goes on to tell us that Slot won the league in his 1st year.

    They then miraculously inform us that we’ve bought Frimpong and are soon to purchase Wirtz. Oh I forgot that we’re in talks with Kerkez.

    Do some research. Network to find someone with insider knowledge. Keep said person sweet. Let us know what theyve said.

    Please stop telling us (probably the most in the know supporters alive) what we already know as we no longer read it we skim.

  4. I think I’ll wait until Liverpool officially announces it. Is Romano a credible source? I somehow doubt it. I think he is just a good script writer with good scripts for film, making us reach an anti-climax only to make us be disappointed time and time again. He’s just noise.

  5. Like it or not Fabrizio Romano is the most credible source available next to only the club announcement itself. He’s the most reliable football transfer journalist in the world, second place would be David Ornstine for English premier league clubs. There’s a few step of his reporting, none is a rumour only facts. The final stage would be the Here We Go! stage where if nothing critical happens it will be a successful transfer.

  6. Kkkkiki..yu guyz at too emotional like tht YuTuber again Craig smthing… jus forget about the Romanoz..this Craig guy. Jus b patient and simply follow Sky Sports News..especially these transfer updates..yu will never go wrong as their reports ar always accurate and square there an there..up to date..period..
