Liverpool Close to Agreeing Personal Terms for Fifth Signing as Milos Kerkez Undergoes Medical
Liverpool appears poised to complete a wave of defensive signings this week.
Starting Monday, the club is expected to finalize a £40 million move for Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez.
Kerkez Set to Join Liverpool
According to a trusted source, David Ornstein of The Athletic, Kerkez is on track to become Liverpool’s fourth major addition of the summer.
This move aligns with a broader reshuffling of the defensive lineup, following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s recent free transfer to Real Madrid before the Club World Cup.
Meanwhile, Andy Robertson’s future at Anfield also appears uncertain amid reported interest from Atletico Madrid. This could impact the status of Kostas Tsimikas, who may now have a greater chance of staying if Robertson chooses to leave for Spain.
Marc Guehi Could Be Next
With Jarell Quansah departing and Nathaniel Phillips likely to follow, Liverpool may soon have additional funds available and an urgent need to strengthen their central defense.
Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, 24, is reportedly on the club’s radar. Sources including Valentin Furlan and Rudy Galetti suggest that Liverpool and the player are nearing a verbal agreement on personal terms.
However, it’s still unclear whether Palace’s reported £45 million asking price will align with Liverpool’s transfer strategy. As The Times journalist Paul Joyce noted, the final decision could hinge on financial considerations and whether the club opts to wait until next summer when Guehi’s contract is set to expire.
