Liverpool target Milos Kerkez has sent a cryptic tweet as transfer speculation ramps up regarding the Bournemouth defender.
It has been a busy couple of days of transfer talk regarding the Reds despite the summer window opening in a couple of weeks.
And the Hungarian has put supporters on red alert with a response to a tweet which has only fuelled the transfer rumours.
The ECHO reported in March that the 21-year-old was a player of interest for Liverpool while they were keeping tabs on a number of potential left-back options as they look to strengthen competition alongside Andy Robertson.
Already this week, Liverpool have entered talks with Jeremie Frimpong, as his £30 million release clause looks set to be triggered, as well as readying themselves for the battle to sign Florian Wirtz.

The Hungary international left the exit door wide open with his six-word remark to a tweet questioning his exclusion from the shortlist for Premier League's Young Player of the Season.
The initial tweet from X user, Bence Bocsak, read: "@kerkez_official should be on the shortlist at the very least.

The in-demand full-back couldn't resist a cheeky response, he replied: "Don’t worry, someone else saw it [wink face]."

And it appears the focus is already on how they can successfully defend their crown next season.
With the threat of Manchester City further reinforcing their squad, after an initial splurge during the January transfer window, and Arsenal undergoing their latest evolution under new sporting director Andrea Berta, Liverpool face a busy summer.

“(Being champions) definitely helps, I think, to attract new players as well, because mostly the players that we want to have, we are not the only clubs who think they are good players, so these players have probably more options," said Reds head coach Arne Slot.
"And then it helps maybe for them to see that the way we do things over here is special, I think you can say that.
"In the background, of course I did (plan for next season) already a little bit, because it's not like after we won the league, that's the first time Richard (Hughes, sporting director) called me and said: 'Okay, these are the players we are interested in!'”
