Liverpool are trying to finalise a deal for Bournemouth full-back Milos Kerkez.

But the Cherries are still demanding £45m for the Hungary left-back as talks continue between the club.

The Reds have yet to submit an official bid but will do so when they feel they can strike an agreement.



Kerkez, 21, was a standout performer for Bournemouth last season.

The player is keen to make the move and personal terms won’t be an issue should the clubs agree a fee.

The Cherries are not willing to sell below their valuation as they have already lost defender Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid.

They are also bracing for a bid from Paris Saint-Germain for centre-back Ilya Zabarnyi.

With the Cherries closing in on a replacement for Kerkez, it puts the Hungarian a step closer to Anfield.

Liverpool are in the midst of a busy summer window having already confirmed the signing of versatile right-back Jeremie Frimpong in a £29m deal from Bayer Leverkusen.

But Liverpool are confused by the noise around the player’s future as they have had no contact about his availability.

He is an important player under boss Arne Slot and scored 17 goals last season in all competitions as the Reds won the Premier League title.
