Liverpool’s spending could hit unprecedented heights following the impending acquisition of Milos Kerkez.
Milos Kerkez is reportedly set to take his Liverpool medical on Monday as he closes in on a move from Bournemouth thought to be worth in the region of £40 million ($53.5 million).
Liverpool have long been linked with a move for the tireless Hungarian left back. The Reds are minded to upgrade a waning Andy Robertson as they push to defend their Premier League crown in the upcoming campaign. Multiple reports on Friday—the same day that Florian Wirtz’s record-breaking move was announced—claimed that a deal between Liverpool and Bournemouth had been struck.
Now it appears that an official unveiling is imminent. The Athletic report that Kerkez left Belgrade, Serbia to fly to the U.K. for his Liverpool medical before he is presented to the fans and media on Tuesday, June 24.
The same outlet claims that Kerkez will put pen to paper on a five-year deal after completing a £40 million transfer. This figure is £5 million ($6.7 million) less than initial asking price Bournemouth were thought to be demanding, which represents another positive development in the increasingly illustrious reputation boasted by Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes.
