Liverpool have officially secured the signing of 21-year-old Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth in a major £45 million transfer. The talented defender has agreed to a five-year deal that will keep him at Anfield until June 2030.
Kerkez made a strong impression during his debut season in the Premier League with Bournemouth, attracting interest from top clubs across Europe thanks to his blistering pace, aggressive approach, and maturity beyond his age. Liverpool managed to fend off competition both domestically and internationally to secure his signature.
This transfer is part of Liverpool’s ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad in the post-Jürgen Klopp era. With Andy Robertson now past 30 and the left-back position often impacted by injuries, Kerkez is seen as both a future asset and an immediate option for the starting lineup.
Speaking after completing the move, Kerkez said:
“Joining Liverpool is a dream come true. The history, the fans, and the winning spirit here are unbelievable. I’m excited to play at Anfield and help fight for trophies.”
Liverpool’s sporting director also shared his thoughts:
“We’ve been tracking Milos closely. His energy, skill, and dedication fit perfectly with Liverpool’s philosophy. At just 21, he has huge potential, and we’re confident he’ll thrive here.”
Kerkez will wear the number 21 shirt and is set to join the team for pre-season training right away. Fans are already thrilled about his arrival, hoping he can help the club defend its Premier League title and compete strongly in Europe
