Milos Kerkez has been in the spotlight for some time, but now the long-awaited move to Liverpool appears imminent. The Hungarian left-back, just 21 years old, played a starring role for Bournemouth last season, helping them flirt with European qualification. His aggressive runs, defensive resilience and tactical maturity have not gone unnoticed.
Liverpool’s pursuit has been anything but secretive, and reports suggest that personal terms are all but agreed, with only medical formalities remaining. According to Super Indirektno kod Popa i Milana, Kerkez’s father made the clearest statement yet about his son’s destination.
“It’s only Liverpool for us and we’re not going anywhere else and we won’t talk to other clubs,” Kerkez’s father told Super Indirektno kod Popa i Milana on YouTube.
There is a striking certainty in the words of Kerkez’s family. His father confirmed:
“Everything is done between us (personal terms), we just need to sort out some details, but it’s basically a done deal.”
“We made that decision. Richard Hughes signed Milos for Bournemouth, and that’s a man who keeps his promises, and if he said to us ‘we’re going to India’, we’ll go to him to India.”
Such unequivocal backing suggests Liverpool’s project under Arne Slot has been convincingly sold.
Adding fuel to the fire, Milos’s younger brother Marko Kerkez posted an image from Serbian outlet Crno Bele Novosti with the caption:
“Milos Kerkez, soon to be a new Liverpool footballer, has revealed which club he supports.”
While fans eagerly await official confirmation, all roads seem to lead to Anfield.
Arne Slot, known for dynamic full-back usage, could find Kerkez the perfect fit for his evolving Liverpool. Fast, direct and brave in possession, Kerkez appears built for a side aiming to attack wide and recover quickly.
As Liverpool transitions post-Klopp, investing in youth with elite potential is no luxury but necessity. This feels like a timely and tactical decision that strengthens depth at left-back and hints at a progressive future.
This is exactly the kind of news Liverpool fans wanted to kick off the summer window. A young, hungry left-back who fits our high-energy profile? Sign us up. What stands out most is not just Milos Kerkez’s form at Bournemouth, but the complete buy-in from his family. That speaks volumes about his character and commitment.
“It’s only Liverpool for us” is the kind of quote you frame. It feels personal. It feels like he gets what this club is.
With Robbo entering the latter stage of his prime and injuries creeping in, Kerkez could be the long-term successor, or even push for starts early on. Under Slot’s likely pressing-heavy, wide-playing system, he’ll thrive. His overlapping, recovery speed and no-nonsense approach scream Liverpool DNA.
The deal seems 95% done, and barring surprises, we could see Kerkez unveiled within days. Fingers crossed the medical goes smoothly. We’ve missed this kind of early, efficient business in recent windows. This time, it feels like we’re moving with purpose.
