'Welcome Kerkez': Liverpool fans excited for £45m transfer as Bournemouth confirm new signing | OneFootball

Reds have been handed a clear path to complete summer swoop for Bournemouth left-back

Liverpool fans have been given further cause for excitement over a potential summer deal for Milos Kerkez.

Just last week, Justin Kluivert was quizzed about the future of his Bournemouth teammate amid links to the Premier League champions.

Kluivert said "He'll probably go there. I hope so for him.

"He hasn't really said goodbye yet, but I hope he'll make it happen there."

It has been widely reported that discussions between Liverpool and Bournemouth for the left-back have taken over a possible deal worth £45m.

Interestingly, the Cherries appear to have opened the door for Kerkez to leave having signed a like-for-like replacement in Adrien Truffert from Ligue 1 outfit Rennes.

A statement reads: “AFC Bournemouth is delighted to announce the signing of French left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes.

“The Belgian-born defender joins the Cherries on a five-year deal from the Ligue 1 outfit.”

That said, judging by the reaction on social media, this announcement has generated more excitement among the Liverpool fanbase as many are expecting news on Kerkez very soon...
