Transfer News: Liverpool Set To Sign Milos Kerkez As Deal Nears Completion
@Source: news18.com
Liverpool have almost wrapped up the formalities to sign Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez. Having become the English champions for the record 20th time, the Reds have already started planning for the next season. With Arne Slot looking to bolster his defence, they are closing in on a deal with Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong. The Dutchman completed his match as a Liverpool player next week.
According to transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League champions have already agreed on personal terms with left-back Kerkez. The deal could be made official in the coming week.
“My information, guys, is that Kerkez already has an agreement on personal terms with Liverpool. So, just some small details to be clarified. And then Liverpool are in contact with Bournemouth,” Romano confirmed on his YouTube channel.
“Liverpool is still working on this one. So not only Frimpong, but Liverpool are also in active conversations for Kerkez, and this week, the conversations will continue to get the deal done,” he added.
Former Premier League manager Gordon Strachan believes that if Kerkez arrives at Anfield, he might help Andy Robertson deliver his best performances once again.
“Regardless of how Andy Robertson has played for Liverpool this season, he’s been such a huge asset for club and country over the past few years. He’s not been as effective for Scotland as they don’t have the same calibre of players that Liverpool does. I think if Liverpool were to sign Milos Kerkez, it could kickstart Robertson up again and end up putting another couple of years on his career at the club,” Strachan said.
Meanwhile, Romano has also shared an update on Frimpong’s Leverkusen teammate Florian Wirtz, who has been in talks with Liverpool for a few weeks now. As per Romano, the club has already submitted their “first official bid” for Wirtz, with the package amounting to €100m, including add-ons.
“Liverpool’s first official bid for Florian Wirtz over a €100m package with add-ons has been received by Bayer Leverkusen. Club-to-club negotiations are underway, restarting today to get the deal done very soon. Wirtz already told Bayer that he only wants Liverpool,” Romano said.
Liverpool finished their Premier League campaign last Sunday with a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at home.
