Liverpool have officially announced the signing of Hungarian international Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth, as part of the club’s strategic efforts to reinforce their defensive line ahead of the 2025–26 campaign.
The Hungarian international has signed a five-year contract, becoming the club’s third major acquisition of the summer.
The 21-year-old left-back impressed over two seasons at Bournemouth, making 74 appearances and contributing two goals and eight assists. A dynamic presence on the flank, Kerkez has also earned 23 caps for Hungary since 2022.
Speaking to Liverpool’s official website, Kerkez called the move a “real honour” and said he was eager to work under new manager Arne Slot.
With the additions of Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong already secured, Liverpool’s summer spending now exceeds £170 million. Kerkez is expected to compete for the left-back position, currently shared by Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas, potentially prompting further changes in the squad.
Liverpool’s recruitment team views Kerkez as a long-term asset, well-suited to Slot’s tactical approach and the club’s broader vision for sustained success.
