Milos Kerkez will fly back to England to undergo a medical on Monday ahead of his move to Liverpool.

The Reds are set to sign the Hungary international in a £40m deal from AFC Bournemouth.

The 21-year-old has been on holiday in Belgrade, but will return to the United Kingdom to put the finishing touches on his move to Merseyside - as first reported by the Athletic - with his transfer set to be announced later this week.

Kerkez - who is set to sign a five-year contract - has made no secret of his desire to join Liverpool, while his father and agent, Sebastijan, confirmed the switch was ‘basically a done deal’ when appearing alongside his son on Serbian YouTube channel Super Indirektno kod Popa i Milana.

“It’s only Liverpool for us and we’re not going anywhere else and we won’t talk to other clubs,” he said.

Richard Hughes brought us to Bournemouth, and he’s a man who keeps his promises.

Everything is agreed, just some little things.”

Reds sporting director Richard Hughes previously signed the left-back from Bournemouth back in the summer of 2023, landing him from AZ Alkmaar in a deal worth £15.5m.

Kerkez’s arrival at Anfield will follow hot off the heels of Liverpool completing the club-record signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth up to £116m last Friday.

The Reds have also signed Jeremie Frimpong from the Bundesliga outfit, after activating his £29.5m release clause, and goalkeeper Armin Pecsi from Puskas Akademia.

Meanwhile, Liverpool agreed a £29m deal with Valencia last year to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili this summer.

Kerkez will become the third Hungarian in the Reds’ ranks, along with fellow new recruit Pecsi and close friend and international captain Dominik Szoboszlai.

Bournemouth have already signed left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes to replace the 21-year-old this summer, while Julian Soler also joined the club back in January.

Kerkez is expected to be part of the Reds contingent that reports for pre-season training on July 7 ahead of the first friendly of the summer at Preston North End six days later (July 13).

With Liverpool signing the Hungarian, at least one of their existing senior left-backs is now likely to move on.

Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Andy Robertson, who is considering his options ahead of his contract expiring next summer.

Meanwhile, Kostas Tsimikas, who recently admitted there was a ‘temptation’ to pursue starting opportunities elsewhere, is on the radar of several clubs including newly-promoted Premier League side Leeds United.
