Kerkez’s transfer to Liverpool has been close for some time, but it seems like Andy Robertson’s rumoured move to Atletico Madrid has kicked FSG into action.
That is according to journalist Florian Plettenberg, who claims Liverpool are now ‘100% convinced’ that Kerkez deal will go through.
Reds fans, though, will have to wait a little longer to see Kerkez holding a Liverpool shirt, with the transfer set to be finalised once Wirtz has signed and been presented.

Wirtz is currently on holiday until Wednesday, suggesting the Hungarian could be a Liverpool player by the end of next week.
With the Kerkez transfer virtually done, Arne Slot now has the tough task of deciding who to keep out of Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.
Robertson is ‘keen’ on the Atletico Madrid move, which begs the question as to whether Liverpool will stand in his way of a potential Spanish switch.
