Liverpool star sends message to Milos Kerkez amid Bournemouth transfer update
Milos Kerkez has received a message from Dominik Szoboszlai amid interest from Liverpool.
Kerkez, 21, was on the scoresheet as Bournemouth earned a thumping 4-1 victory over Newcastle at St. James’ Park on Saturday, 18 January.
The left-back later took to Instagram to express his delight, with Szoboszlai tipping his hat to his Hungary teammate.
“Yes, my son”, the Reds midfielder wrote along with a heart emoji (18 January).
Liverpool have Milos Kerkez answer as Bournemouth update emerges
Kerkez has emerged as a serious transfer target for Liverpool as they plan to revamp their left-back department, with Andy Robertson turning 31 in March.
The Hungary international is leaning towards a move to Anfield despite interest from Manchester City and Manchester United [The i], while the Cherries have placed a £50million price tag on him.
However, Liverpool News understand that Kerkez is very unlikely to leave the Vitality Stadium during the ongoing winter transfer window.
Sources have poured cold water over any hopes of taking the 21-year-old to Anfield for the second half of the season.
However, the Reds may still acquire the left-back’s services in the summer and Szoboszlai may well help them in the pursuit.
It is also worth noting that it was Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes who signed Kerkez at Bournemouth.
He has come in for a lot of criticism since arriving on Merseyside last year, but could make things right by bringing Kerkez to the club.
