Liverpool are hoping to finalise a deal to sign Bournemouth left back Milos Kerkez in the coming days.
The Cherries are standing firm with their valuation of £45million but could do a deal for around £40m.
Kerkez, 21, could become Liverpool’s second signing of the summer transfer window if he is not beaten to the punch by German superstar Florian Wirtz.
Sources in Germany say a deal to sign Wirtz is ‘99 per cent done’ in an incentivised package that would smash Liverpool’s transfer record.
The Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder, who will play for the Germans in their UEFA Nations League semi-final against Portugal tonight, is extremely keen on a move to Anfield and this is now a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’.
