Milos Kerkez’s father: Liverpool transfer ‘basically’ done

The father of Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez has described his son’s impending transfer to Liverpool as “basically a done deal.”

ESPN reported on Sunday that Liverpool have agreed a deal for the Hungary international worth in the region of €45 million ($51.99m) and that Kerkez had agreed personal terms with the Premier League champions.

Liverpool are looking to bolster their options at left-back, having already signed Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong to provide competition on the right flank.

Appearing on the Super Indirektno podcast alongside his son, Kerkez’s father, Sebastijan, said: “It’s only Liverpool for us and we’re not going anywhere else and we won’t talk to other clubs. Everything is done between us [personal terms] we just need to sort out some details but it’s basically a done deal.

In addition to strengthening at full-back this summer, Liverpool last week agreed a deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz in a deal that could rise to £116m, sources told ESPN.

Liverpool saw two offers rejected by Leverkusen — who had initially wanted £126m for Wirtz’s transfer — before accepting an initial £100m deal, plus bonuses of up to £16m.
