Even without official news, pundits talked about a fierce race.

Reports suggested top clubs were circling, making it a competitive chase.

The buzz in the city made it seem as if something big was coming, but nobody had confirmed it yet.

But if emerging reports are true, Liverpool fans will be overjoyed.

Sports Journalist Nicolo Schira took to social media and wrote, “Done Deal and confirmed!

Milos Kerkez to Liverpool from Bournemouth.

Contract until 2030.”

In one tweet he supposedly ends weeks of suspense.

He also revealed that Kerkez “has turned down three other bids to join LFC.”

In other words, the young left back said no to other offers – including interest from clubs like Manchester City – because he chose Liverpool.

The reportedly long contract shows Liverpool’s confidence in him.

The Hungarian defender may be on his way to join Arne Slot’s squad after shining at Bournemouth last season.

He made a name for himself in the English game and at international youth levels.

And with this emerging story, he’s set to keep making a name for him self on the Merseyside.
