Liverpool’s quest for Milos Kerkez suffered a major blow as the Bournemouth full-back seemingly ruled out a move to the Reds in a recent live stream. Throughout the season, Kerkez has been heavily linked with a move to Arne Slot’s side.
With Andy Robertson’s position under increasing scrutiny due to his advanced age, it is no secret that Liverpool are actively looking for a new left-back. The veteran defender has been a loyal servant to the club, but many believe his best years are behind him.
As a result, several full-back options have emerged as potential successors, with names such as Antonee Robinson, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Alphonso Davies also discussed in recent months. Kerkez was part of that conversation.
According to sources, Liverpool find themselves competing with arch-rivals Manchester United to secure the Bournemouth star, with a suggested price tag of £50million for his services.

-However, Kerkez’s latest statements cast doubt on his potential move to Anfield. Reports, supposedly from his live feed, feature the Hungary international stating unequivocally: “I’m not going to Liverpool. For anyone listening, I’m not coming.”
Interestingly, Liverpool are due to face Bournemouth next weekend in a Premier League clash on February 1, two days before the January transfer window closes for English clubs.
This development appears to reduce the likelihood of a winter move for Kerkez to Liverpool. With Manchester United also in the running, this raises speculation over his potential intentions towards a move to Old Trafford. Conversely, Bournemouth supporters may find comfort in his remarks, seeing them as a strong commitment to the club.
