Liverpool would be happy to add Milos Kerkez to their team as part of the full-back’s summer transfer because he has shown himself to be an intensely devoted teammate. The Hungarian has sent a nice message to Dean Huijsen, a teammate from Bournemouth who has now been revealed as a Real Madrid signing after ignoring the Reds and their Premier League opponents, while that is being arranged.
Liverpool has already signed right-back Jeremie Frimpong as part of a defensive makeover, and they have Kerkez in their sights on the opposing flank. They plan to further up their game once midfielder Florian Wirtz leaves. Huijsen, a third defender, had the potential to finalise a move to Anfield in the early summer.
The 20-year-old had a £50 million release clause that was apparently set to be activated by Liverpool or several of their top-flight rivals after an outstanding maiden season with the Cherries, during which he was nominated for the Premier League young player of the year award.
Ultimately, when Real Madrid made a move to the Santiago Bernabeu before the 2024–2025 season was over, no English team had a chance. Huijsen had only just unveiled in front of fans in the Spanish city, and Kerkez’s heartfelt greeting to his old teammate was shared on Instagram stories. It was a repost of the centre back’s initial post with a red heart emoji.
The Reds will be hoping Kerkez can form such close bonds with his new colleagues on Merseyside if he can complete his transfer from Bournemouth. Although it is widely believed and implied in his other recent social media activities that he has chosen to move to Liverpool as his next professional step, the left-back was actually connected to Real Madrid before the summer transfer window started.
Crucially, Kerkez was called up to the squad and missed Hungary’s first June international match. It was later announced that he had left the team prior to the second game for “private reasons.” Although it wasn’t mentioned in that ruling, a transfer is still very likely.
