Despite ongoing speculation and strong links, Liverpool are yet to make a formal offer to sign Bournemouth full-back Milos Kerkez.
The Reds have moved quickly in the transfer market so far, having already confirmed the arrival of Jeremie Frimpong, with Florian Wirtz expected to follow in the coming days.
However, the situation with Kerkez appears to be progressing at a slower pace.
While personal terms are reportedly not an issue, and the 21-year-old is believed to be keen on a move to Anfield.
Jason Burt of The Telegraph states that Bournemouth have not received a formal approach from Liverpool.

Liverpool have reportedly made initial contact with Bournemouth (via reports by Fabrizio Romano), but there has been no official bid as of yet.
The Cherries are reportedly holding out for around £45 million for the Hungarian international.
Kerkez, who has been dropping subtle hints on social media, including likes on Liverpool-related posts and photos from the club’s Premier League parade, has made his interest known.
His motivation to join the Reds could influence negotiations, especially since Bournemouth may struggle to spark a bidding war.
Kerkez is set to represent Hungary at the Euros in June alongside Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai.
As a result, any formal deal is likely to be finalised after his international commitments.
Liverpool’s focus remains on finalising the Wirtz transfer, with negotiations still ongoing following the rejected £109 million bid.
For now, Kerkez’s future remains in limbo, but with the player eager and Liverpool weighing their options, this is a deal to watch once the summer unfolds further.
