“Forget Wirtz: Liverpool edges closer to a ‘verbal agreement’ for a blockbuster transfer; player awaits the final green light with anticipation.”
“Not Wirtz: Liverpool on the brink of sealing ‘verbal agreement’ for a major transfer; player eagerly awaits final approval”
Milos Kerkez remains fully focused on Liverpool negotiations, ignoring offers from other clubs as discussions progress regarding a summer transfer.
While timing may play a role, there is growing optimism that the Hungarian left-back will become Liverpool’s third acquisition of the window.
He is expected to join Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong and Puskás Akadémia goalkeeper Armin Péchsi. Following that, Florian Wirtz is likely to become the fourth signing for the Reds this summer.
Here’s the latest update on Kerkez’s potential move to Liverpool!
Liverpool has yet to finalize all details regarding a potential deal with Bournemouth. However, as Fabrizio Romano has highlighted, Milos Kerkez is poised to be the next addition to the Reds’ summer signings.
“Liverpool are on the verge of finalizing a verbal agreement for Milos Kerkez,” Romano revealed on his YouTube channel. He further explained, “While it’s not yet at the ‘Here we go’ stage, we’re very close. Kerkez is eager to join Liverpool, with an agreement already in place—just awaiting the final approval.”
Kerkez, who has garnered significant praise for his impressive performances over two Premier League seasons, is expected to become Liverpool’s third summer signing. His arrival is anticipated to perfectly complement the current squad dynamics, as highlighted by Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail.
“I spent 20 minutes on the phone today with someone who knows Kerkez very well. His personality and character references are absolutely top-notch,” Steele remarked during a YouTube broadcast.
Liverpool fans can look forward to welcoming a talented and highly recommended fullback to Anfield in the near future.
How Does Milos Kerkez Compare to Andy Robertson Statistically?
Andy Robertson appears well-prepared to face the competition Milos Kerkez will bring in the 2025/26 season. According to Sofascore, Kerkez offers a more formidable challenge at left-back compared to current backup Kostas Tsimikas.
Premier League Fullback Comparison (2024/25 Season)
Andy Robertson: 2,492 mins | xA: 4.26 | Big Chances Created: 7 | Successful Dribbles/Game: 0.2 (41.2%)
Milos Kerkez: 3,342 mins | xA: 2.58 | Big Chances Created: 8 | Successful Dribbles/Game: 0.6 (56.4%)
Kostas Tsimikas: 849 mins | xA: 2.32 | Big Chances Created: 5 | Successful Dribbles/Game: 0.3 (50%)
While Robertson retains a creative edge, Kerkez’s output demonstrates his potential to thrive in a Liverpool side with better attacking options. Notably, even Tsimikas managed an xA of 2.32 in far fewer minutes, suggesting Kerkez’s numbers could improve in a system that emphasizes forward movement and attacking fluidity.
From Arne Slot’s perspective, the focus on mobility on the flanks is evident. Jeremie Frimpong’s ability to advance the ball with confidence on the right seems set to be mirrored by Kerkez on the left, creating opportunities for overlapping runs and enhanced wing play.
While there is room to improve Kerkez’s creative output, what Liverpool gains immediately is his dynamism and high-energy style, perfectly suited for the modern fullback role.
