Liverpool Announces Signing Of Bournemouth Left Back Milos Kerkez
Liverpool have announced the signing of rising Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, marking their third addition of a busy summer transfer window.
Kerkez joins Anfield for an estimated £40 million following two impressive seasons on the south coast, complementing new signings Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz.
The 21-year-old flew in on Monday to undergo the first part of his medical tests and then completed those on Tuesday before the official announcement came on Thursday morning.
Regarding the move, the Hungary international said, “I’m really happy. It’s a real honour for me, a privilege to come to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, the biggest club in England. I’m just really, really happy and excited.
”After this, I’ll go home and in my hometown enjoy a few days, and then I can’t really wait to come back and put the training kit on and start to train and prepare for the season.”
”I just want to thank everyone for really showing me big love, even before it was announced now
”And keep supporting the team, as you always do, because you’re the biggest fan base in the world.
”I’m going to give everything, absolutely everything, to win trophies with the club and to hopefully score some goals at Anfield. I can’t wait to hear the roar. And see you soon.
Kerkez’s arrival adds to what has already been a busy summer for the Premier League champions.
Liverpool acted swiftly to find a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold following his move to Real Madrid, with Jeremie Frimpong arriving for £29.5 millions.
After struggling to break into the senior team in Italy, Kerkez moved to AZ Alkmaar, where a standout breakthrough season in 2022/23 caught the attention of Bournemouth, who then signed the left-back.
Kerkez started every match in the 2024/25 Premier League season and registered two goals and six assists.
His first competitive appearance for Liverpool could be in the Community Shield against Crystal Palace on Sunday, August 10th.
