British media reports revealed today, Sunday, that Liverpool is close to finalizing the signing of Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkes from Bournemouth, outpacing Manchester United, who was also seeking to acquire him.

According to The Sun, Liverpool will pay £50 million to secure the deal, as the player prefers to join the Reds, which may raise doubts about the future of Scottish player Andy Robertson, whose performance has seen a relative decline after 8 years with the team.

The 21-year-old Hungarian player has shown impressive form this season, participating in 32 matches with Bournemouth across all competitions and contributing to 8 goals, scoring 2 and assisting 6.

Liverpool is preparing to face their rivals Everton on Wednesday evening in the Merseyside derby, as part of the 30th round of the 2024/2025 Premier League season.

The Reds currently top the league table with 70 points, 12 points ahead of their closest challengers Arsenal, with 9 rounds remaining in the season.
