Liverpool is on the verge of finalizing the acquisition of Milos Kerkez, with the Bournemouth defender's father confirming the move to Anfield. The details of Kerkez's salary and contract length have now been revealed, shedding light on the Hungarian's upcoming transfer to Merseyside.

The Reds have been quick off the mark in the transfer market this summer, aiming to strengthen their squad after winning the Premier League title. Following the addition of Jeremie Frimpong as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool is now making progress with signings two and three. This double deal is set to push their summer spending past the £190m mark.

While Kerkez's move from Bournemouth is expected to cost between £40m to £45m, it is a relatively modest amount compared to previous transfers. Arne Slot, Liverpool's manager, is excited about the prospect of having two top attacking full-backs in the upcoming season.

With the deal in its final stages, Kerkez's father, Sebastijan, confirmed on a Serbian YouTube channel that 'everything is done' regarding the transfer. He expressed their commitment to Liverpool and praised Richard Hughes for his role in bringing them to Bournemouth. The agreement is almost complete, pending a few minor details.

Key Points of the Deal

• The deal showcases Hughes' persuasiveness in negotiations.
• Kerkez is expected to sign a five-year contract with Liverpool, earning an estimated £90,000 per week.
• He is likely to take up a prominent role in the Liverpool squad next season, potentially replacing Andy Robertson.

Overall, the impending signing of Kerkez is seen as another successful move orchestrated by Hughes and Slot, demonstrating their commitment to strengthening the team.
