Liverpool have reached an agreement with Bournemouth to sign Milos Kerkez in a deal worth around £40million ($54m), according to The Athletic.
A medical is expected to take place next week ahead of the left-back signing a five-year contract at Anfield, with the deal now moving to the paperwork stage following club-to-club agreement.
Bournemouth have already completed the signing of left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes this summer, having also signed Argentina under-23 international Julio Soler in the position in the winter transfer window.
Kerkez enjoyed a brilliant 2024-25 season and has been identified as Andy Robertson replacement – Robertson have been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.

Speaking to The Athletic in March, the 21-year-old Hungary international stated his desire to play at the “highest level” and contest for silverware.
“As a kid, you dream to play at the highest level, win the trophies, be on the best teams,” Kerkez said. “These are the things that my agent is on. My dad is on. It is not something that they occupy me with because the season is still going, so there’s no point talking about anything.”
Kerkez, joined Bournemouth from AZ for around £15.5million ($20m) in July 2023, and made 67 appearances for the south coast club across two seasons.
He started all 38 of Bournemouth’s Premier League matches during the 2024-25 campaign, providing six goals and two assists.
On the international stage, Kerkez has made 23 appearances for Hungary since his senior debut in 2022.
