Milos Kerkez's brother appears to have offered another hint that the Hungary left-back will be playing for Liverpool next season, with the Reds hoping to conclude a deal with Bournemouth.

The 21-year-old full-back could be Arne Slot's next acquisition in a bustling summer of activity at Anfield, with Kerkez slated to join Florian Wirtz at Liverpool once the transfer window swings open again next week.

Bournemouth has finalized a deal with Rennes to bring in Adrien Tuffert from France as Kerkez's successor, meaning that the pathway to Anfield is open for the Liverpool target. And the Cherries value their current option at around $60 million (£45 million).

As the transfer edges closer to reality, Marko Kerkez, Milos' brother, seems to have stamped approval on the move by reposting an Instagram snap that suggests the Hungarian is bound for Liverpool.

Marko re-shared a story showcasing Kerkez showing off on a speedboat, accompanied by a caption which, when translated, stated: "Milos Kerkez, soon to be a new Liverpool player".

With appearances in all 38 Premier League matches for Bournemouth last term, tallying two goals and six assists, Kerkez has firmly fixed his gaze on a future with Liverpool, viewed as the long-term inheritor of Andy Robertson's role.

He withdrew from the Hungary national team last week, with "personal reasons" cited as to why he left the squad.

Robertson has been touted for a potential switch to Atletico Madrid as he enters the final year of his Liverpool contract.

The 31-year-old Scottish international faced criticism last season following a dip in performance, contrasting with his previously consistent displays on Liverpool's left side.

Discussing his future while on international duty, Robertson remarked: "When you play for a big club like Liverpool, you expect challenges, you expect to have competition. I've always faced that, and so has everyone in their own positions.

"We want the club to be ambitious, they're doing that and wherever we fit into that, if you're happy with the role you stay and do it and if you're not then I'm sure there will be some people out the door as well. That's the nature of football."

Meanwhile, Liverpool's alternative option at left-back, Kostas Tsimikas, might also be heading for an Anfield exit. Clubs including Wolves and Leeds United have been linked with moves for him.

Liverpool.com says: Kerkez would be a great signing to inject energy at left-back. He is like a younger version of Andy Robertson, whose performance levels dropped off last season, even though they picked up in the second half of the campaign.
