Liverpool are on the verge of announcing their fourth summer signing.
Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez arrived in Liverpool on Monday to undergo a medical ahead of his permanent transfer from Bournemouth. After two standout seasons under Andoni Iraola, Kerkez is now set to reunite with fellow countryman Dominik Szoboszlai at Anfield.
Kerkez Nears £40m Switch Following Medical
Renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported via X (formerly Twitter) that the 21-year-old is now in the final stages of his medical. Once complete, he will put pen to paper on a deal worth £40 million to join Liverpool.
The signing bolsters Arne Slot’s defensive options, adding to earlier arrivals like Jeremie Frimpong. Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, whose move was arranged last year, is also set to link up with the squad.
Nat Phillips Completes Long-Awaited Departure
Meanwhile, Nat Phillips has officially left Liverpool, ending his long association with the club. The 28-year-old has joined West Brom on a permanent deal, though the fee remains undisclosed. He follows Jarell Quansah out of the club.
More Defensive Additions Incoming?
Following Quansah’s exit, Liverpool are expected to pursue another central defender. Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace is still being monitored, with the club showing interest in the England international.
With just one year left on Guehi’s contract, Palace might be compelled to lower their asking price. However, Liverpool’s recruitment chief Richard Hughes is willing to wait if the valuation doesn’t align with the club’s plans.
