The Bournemouth left-back looks set to undergo a medical next week, with a $54 million deal having been agreed with the Cherries after much speculation.
Kerkez’s signing won’t come as a surprise to most Liverpool fans.
The 21-year-old has been touted for a move to Anfield for some time now, and his family has made no secret of his desire to link up with the English champions.
It won’t be long then before he’s arriving at the AXA Training Centre to put the finishing touches to his transfer - although, like Frimpong and Wirtz before him, it won’t be his first visit to Liverpool’s training ground.
Unlike the previous two signings, he is yet to experience a training session at the Reds’ Kirkby base, although he has actually played a competitive game there.
Milos Kerkez in action for AC Milan during a UEFA Youth League game against Liverpool at the AXA Training Centre
Back in September 2021, Kerkez was part of the AC Milan side that faced Liverpool U19s in the UEFA Youth League, and came up against a few of his future teammates.
Conor Bradley, Tyler Morton and Owen Beck - who is the subject of interest from Wrexham - all started for the Reds that day, while Stefan Bajcetic was among the players to come off the bench.
Max Woltman’s early strike saw Liverpool claim a 1-0 win that day, with Kerkez playing 67 minutes.
The Hungarian spent just a year with Milan before making the move to AZ Alkmaar - coincidentally, one of Arne Slot’s former sides - and a move to Bournemouth followed not long after, with Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes the man to bring him to the Premier League.
