Liverpool and Chelsea Battle for Milos Kerkez as Bournemouth Prepare for Summer Bids

Liverpool and Chelsea are both in talks with the agents of Milos Kerkez as they eye a potential transfer this summer.

The 21-year-old has played a crucial role in Bournemouth’s success this season, with Andoni Iraola’s side currently sitting in seventh place, just three points outside the top four.

Kerkez has started every league match for Bournemouth this term, contributing two goals and three assists. The Hungarian international is expected to continue improving as he develops further.

Sources close to the situation tell TEAMtalk that Bournemouth are aware of the interest in Kerkez and anticipate offers for him come summer. It may be difficult for the club to retain him, as the player is reportedly eager to make the move to a top club regularly competing in major competitions.

Liverpool, as previously reported, have shown strong interest in Kerkez, seeing him as an ideal long-term replacement for the aging Andy Robertson, whose form has been inconsistent recently. However, Chelsea also pose a threat to Liverpool’s pursuit, making this transfer battle one to watch.
