Revealed: Liverpool told £40m bid for top target would be accepted

Bournemouth will hold out for a £40million+ bid for Liverpool top target Milos Kerkez, sources have told Football Insider.

The Cherries defender, 21, is also wanted by Premier League giants Chelsea.

Kerkez is set to bank the south coast club a huge profit after his £15million move from AZ Alkmaar last summer (2023).

Liverpool and Chelsea are tracking the Hungary international, who has put in a series of impressive performances for Andoni Iraola’s side this term.

Kerkez is regarded as a top young player who will further flourish and reach his full potential in one of England’s top sides.

He has started all 15 Premier League games for Bournemouth this term, notching one goal and two assists.

Kerkez also made 33 appearances across all competitions for the Cherries last season – his first in English football.

Liverpool told £40m+ Kerkez bid will be accepted

He started each of Hungary’s games at Euro 2024 in Germany as they were eliminated at the group stage.

The left-footer is under contract at the Vitality Stadium until June 2028.

Kerkez is one of several targets for Liverpool as they seek a long-term replacement for long-serving defender Andy Robertson.

Football Insider revealed on Monday (9 December) that Reds scouts have also been tracking Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies, 24, ahead of a potential free transfer.

The Merseysiders will face competition from Real Madrid and rivals Man United for the Canada international’s signature.
