Liverpool are in advanced negotiations with Bournemouth to sign left-back Milos Kerkez, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Hungary international has been a long-term target for the Reds and talks are now underway to secure his signature.

Kerkez is close to reaching an agreement on personal terms and the Reds are likewise in advanced talks with the Cherries.

Bournemouth have already lost Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid for £50 million and they are set to hold out for a similar fee.

Liverpool are expected to announce the arrival of right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen in the coming days.

There is a strong possibility that Kerkez will become the club’s second major acquisition of the summer transfer window.

The club are poised to continue their spending spree and they are likely to pursue a high-profile striker to replace Darwin Nunez.

A defensive midfielder could be another target for the Reds. Atalanta’s Ederson is one of the players linked with the club.
