Hungary left-back signs five-year deal with champions

Liverpool’s spending for new season passes £200m-mark

Liverpool have pushed their summer spending to £170m after completing the signing of Milos Kerkez for £40m from Bournemouth.



The goalkeeper will move to Anfield on 1 July from Valencia, lifting transfer expenditure to almost £200m.

“I’m really happy,” said Kerkez, who played 74 times for Bournemouth over two seasons after joining form AZ Alkmaar in 2023.

I’m just really, really happy and excited.

After this, I’ll go home and in my hometown enjoy a few days, and then I can’t really wait to come back and put the training kit on and start to train and prepare for the season.”

Liverpool are also targeting the Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guéhi with Jarell Quansah set to join Bayern Leverkusen for £35m.

The Reds could make a move for a new striker should they offload Darwin Nunez, who has attracted interest from Italy and Saudi Arabia.

The club are long-term admirers of Alexander Isak but have yet to make an offer for the Newcastle forward.

Frimpong replaces Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right, while Kerkez will compete with Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas at left-back, although one of the incumbent duo could be allowed to depart if a suitable offer is received.

Kerkez becomes the third Hungarian on Liverpool’s book, alongside Dominik Szoboszlai and goalkeeper Armin Pecsi, who has also arrived this summer from Puskás Akadémia.
