Andy Robertson has reacted to the expected transfer of Milos Kerkez this summer.
It has already been reported that the Reds have a personal agreement with the wingback.
Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, who originally signed Kerkez for Bournemouth in 2023, is leading talks.
The clubs are negotiating payment structures, with Bournemouth preferring upfront guarantees and Liverpool exploring performance-based add-ons.
Bournemouth are understood to be demanding a fee of £45 million for the Hungarian international.
Signing Kerkez would strengthen Liverpool’s long-term options at left-back, increasing competition for Andy Robertson and casting doubt over the future of Kostas Tsimikas, whose role at the club is now not clear.
And Robertson has now revealed he is aware of this, revealing to BBC Scotland that he expects the deal to go through but will not give up on his status at Anfield so easily:
“We’re not daft, it looks as if a deal could potentially be done,” Robertson said.
“But, until that is done, I’ve not even given that a second thought.
I’ve got confidence in my own ability and that drives me forward.”
“I’ve had eight fantastic years at Liverpool in terms of winning trophies and being a mainstay in the team, which I’m incredibly proud of.”
“I’m not getting any younger?
I can’t change my age, but I still believe I’ve got a lot to give and that’s what I focus on.”
“I focus on myself – you can’t focus on other people or who you’re competing with.”
