Liverpool have confirmed the signing of left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth in a deal worth £40 million.
The 20-year-old becomes the latest addition to Arne Slot’s squad as the Reds continue an aggressive summer rebuild.
Kerkez has penned a five-year contract at Anfield, tying him to the club until 2030.
The Hungarian international impressed during his time with the Cherries, and Liverpool moved quickly to secure his services amid interest from other top European clubs.
The defender passed his medical earlier this week and is expected to join up with the squad for pre-season preparations.
Kerkez, 20, is known for his pace, defensive awareness, and attacking instincts, Kerkez is seen as a long-term solution on the left flank.
His arrival takes Liverpool’s summer spending beyond the £200 million mark, following high-profile deals for Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz.
The club’s recruitment strategy under new head coach Arne Slot appears focused on youth, energy, and versatility.
Kerkez’s signing also raises questions about the future roles of Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas, with increased competition now expected in the left-back position. For now, Liverpool fans will be watching closely as the club’s revamped squad begins to take shape ahead of the new Premier League season.
