Initial talks between the sides had stalled due to disagreements over the fee, with Bournemouth standing firm on their valuation. However, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/milos-kerkez-admits-liverpool-imminent-reds-arne-slot-squad/blt6af41396ff4371f5#cs48e35b221b1f2563" target="_blank">all parties have now found common ground,</a> allowing Liverpool to finalise personal terms and proceed with medical tests.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Sources close to the deal indicate that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/done-deal-liverpool-transfer-update-father/blteb332112c6b82a61#cscceec5dddcb55480" target="_blank">Kerkez's medical has already been scheduled for next week</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Kerkez enjoyed a standout season under Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth, starting all 38 Premier League matches during the 2024–25 campaign. He is being earmarked as the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/atletico-madrid-liverpool-andy-robertson-free-transfer-left-back/blt6ceec6ef3f7bab76" target="_blank">long-term heir to Andy Robertson</a>, who has served as Liverpool’s first-choice left-back for the better part of a decade. In anticipation of Kerkez’s departure, Bournemouth have already made their move in the transfer market as the Cherries have announced the arrival of French left-back Adrien Truffert from Ligue 1 side Rennes.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Kerkez is expected to become one of several new faces at Anfield this summer. He follows in the footsteps of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, while a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cheap-analytical-nerds-florian-wirtz-record-breaking-liverpool-transfer-outrage-boston-red-sox-baseball-fans-fsg/blt74e1e0787e8350b7" target="_blank">deal for Florian Wirtz is also in the final stages</a>.</p>
