Journalist confirms £40m Liverpool deal to get completed next week

Liverpool are on the verge of finalising a deal to sign Milos Kerkez, with negotiations entering their final stages ahead of a potential agreement next week, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

The highly-rated Hungarian left-back, who plays for AFC Bournemouth, has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time as the club looks to strengthen its defensive options ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Liverpool and Bournemouth have reached a verbal agreement over a transfer fee believed to be in the region of £40 million.
