A fresh update has emerged regarding Liverpool’s interest in Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez this summer, courtesy of reliable journalist Lewis Steele.
The 21-year-old has been linked with the Reds numerous times in recent months, standing out as one of the favourites to come in as Andy Robertson’s long-term successor.
The Scot remains a good player for Liverpool, but isn’t quite at the world-class level he used to be, and a younger alternative is needed moving forward.
According to The Daily Mail‘s Steele, Bournemouth are demanding £45m for Kerkez’s signature at the end of the season, which is just under triple what they paid AZ Alkmaar for him back in 2023.
“Milos is a great boy. A crazy dude, in a good way. He is always positive and smiling. Hopefully he can develop even further in England and become even more mature. He is aggressive, powerful and has so many qualities. A unique skill set. Bournemouth is going to get stronger because of him. Milos still has a great career ahead of him.”
Kerkez combines defensive solidity, attacking quality and bundles of energy down the left flank – he has six goal contributions in the Premier League in 2024/25 to date – and given his age, there is also still so much more time for him to improve further as a player.
Ajax’s Jorrel Hato stands out as the other best long-term option for Liverpool – signing one of them has to be a key area of focus in the summer transfer window.
