Milos Kerkez looks set to become one of Liverpool’s latest summer signings as Arne Slot aims to refresh his squad – and his family members have not exactly been subtle over a move
Milos Kerkez’s dad has revealed that the Bournemouth star’s move to Liverpool is a ‘done deal’ after snubbing other clubs. The Reds have been strongly linked with the Hungarian defender as Arne Slot attempts to refresh his squad ahead of next season.
As it stands, a deal has yet to be agreed between Liverpool and Bournemouth, with the Cherries holding out for at least £45m to sell Kerkez. But according to his dad Sebastijan, who is also his agent, it is only a matter of time before a move is signed off.
Speaking on Super Indirektno, he said: “It’s only Liverpool for us and we’re not going anywhere else and we won’t talk to other clubs. Everything is done between us (personal terms) we just need to sort out some details but it’s basically a done deal.”
Meanwhile, he also confirmed that current Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes was a big influence in Kerkez’s decision to move to Anfield. He added: “Richard Hughes brought us to Bournemouth, if he said we go to India, then we go to India, everything is agreed, just some little things.”
Kerkez’s dad is not the only member of his family to drop a big hint about the defender’s future. His brother Marko shared a post on his Instagram story suggesting that a move should be over the line sooner rather than later.

He wrote: “Milos Kerkez, soon to be a new Liverpool player, has revealed which club he supports.”
Meanwhile, there has also been a clue dropped by Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai, who had a cheeky reply when asked for an update by Hungarian media. When asked about Kerkez, he said: “I don’t know about him… for now.”
Bournemouth already appear to have gotten their affairs in order relating to Kerkez’s exit having signed his potential replacement. They announced a deal for French defender Adrien Truffert on Monday, the left-back joining from Rennes.
Who else should Liverpool sign this summer? Share your thoughts in the comments below
Kerkez looks set to become Liverpool’s third signing of the summer after the prior arrivals of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen and promising young goalkeeper Armin Pecsi. His arrival could potentially put Andrew Robertson’s future on Merseyside in doubt.
The Scottish international has already been linked with a move to Spanish giants Atletico Madrid. And the signings might not stop there either.
Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz is also on the verge of a move to Anfield in what could potentially be a British record deal. He is expected to undergo his medical with the Reds towards the end of this week.
