Milos Kerkez to Liverpool is "basically a done deal" according to the player's father, who has claimed that the Bournemouth defender is unwilling to speak with any other team.

Liverpool has already agreed on a deal in the region of $52 million for Kerkez, with personal terms finalized between the 21-year-old and the Premier League champions. Kerkez's brother has already dropped a major hint that the deal has been completed, and now his father has claimed that the agreement is almost complete.

"It's only Liverpool for us and we're not going anywhere else and we won't talk to other clubs," Kerkez's father said. "Everything is done between us we just need to sort out some details but it's basically a done deal."

Liverpool has been linked with Kerkez for several months, but the deal has now reached the final stages. The full-back position is set to be overhauled, with Trent Alexander-Arnold now at Real Madrid and Andy Robertson entering the final year of his contract.

The Reds have already replaced Alexander-Arnold with Jeremie Frimpong, although his future role in Arne Slot's team remains uncertain. Frimpong is expected to play in a variety of positions, with Conor Bradley stepping into the right-back role full-time.

Liverpool is also on the verge of breaking its transfer record, after reaching an initial $139.5 million agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for midfielder Florian Wirtz. Liverpool has been keen to sign early this summer, and Kerkez could be next.

The hint dropped by Kerkez's father comes days after his brother, Marko, reposted an Instagram snap which suggests that the deal is done. Marko shared a story of his brother on a speedboat, adding the caption: "Milos Kerkez, soon to be a new Liverpool player."

Bournemouth has already signed a replacement, which is helping accelerate the deal. The Cherries have signed French left-back Adrien Truffert, who played 33 times for Rennes in Ligue 1 last season and captained the side.

Kerkez enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2024-25, playing in all 38 Premier League games for Bournemouth and scoring two goals. The Hungarian also provided five assists, and plays with current Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai on the national team.

While Kerkez has starred since breaking into the Bournemouth squad in 2023-24, he was previously signed by the legendary Paolo Maldini at AC Milan. "When a big club like AC Milan looks for you, there aren’t many people who can say no," Kerkez said after signing.

"I received a phone call directly from Paolo Maldini. The decision was very simple and I took it together with my father." However, after listening to his father's advice, Kerkez left Milan after one season to sign with AZ Alkmaar.

"I was doing well, I had many opportunities to train with the first team, and it was an unforgettable experience," Kerkez added. "But I decided once again with my father that going to AZ Alkmaar would be the perfect opportunity to establish myself in professional football.

"We made the best choice," Kerkez concluded. Now, after two stunning seasons on the south coast of England, Kerkez is on the verge of joining the Premier League champions.
