Liverpool’s interest in landing Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is one of the worst-kept secrets in the world of football.
The Reds have been chasing the Hungarian star for a while now and are finally on the verge of landing their man.
During his post-season downtime, the left-back took part in an interview with the Super Indirektno podcast, where his father confirmed that his move to Liverpool is ‘basically a done deal.’
“For us, Liverpool is the only option, we are not going anywhere else and we will not talk to other clubs,” Kerkez Sr said, per Blic.
“Personal terms have been agreed, we just need to sort out some details, but that is basically a done deal.”
Kerkez’s father also opened up on the role of Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes, who also signed him for Bournemouth in 2023.

“Richard Hughes brought us to Bournemouth. If he had said we were going to India, we would have gone to India,” he said.
Talks between Liverpool and Bournemouth are set to advance this week after the south-coast club announced the signing of new left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes on Monday.
While Kerkez is valued at £45 million the suggestion is that Hughes will be able to drive that price down during amicable talks with his former club.
