According to reports from Friday, Liverpool and Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez have agreed to sign him in a deal worth a reported £40 million ($54 million).
Before making his move to the Premier League champions, Kerkez will need to travel to Merseyside for a medical.
With his excellent form for Bournemouth, which included two goals and five assists in 38 Premier League appearances, last season, the 21-year-old caught Liverpool’s attention.
Kerkez spent time at the Vitality Stadium after being transferred from Arizona Alkmaar, according to Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes.

Before moving to AC Milan, where he failed to make an appearance for the Serie A club, the Serbian-born Kerkez started his career at the Hungarian outfit Gyor.
He signed for Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in 2022, and he joined Bournemouth in the Premier League a year later.
With Atletico Madrid in mind, Kerkez’s impending arrival at Anfield raises questions about Andrew Robertson’s future at Liverpool.
In a busy summer transfer window, Arne Slot will make Kerkez the club’s most recent signing.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has joined Real Madrid, and the Reds have already acquired Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen.
After agreeing a fee that could rise to a British record of £116 million, Liverpool are also close to signing Germany’s Florian Wirtz.
Before the official confirmation of his transfer, it is thought that Wirtz had had a medical with Liverpool on Friday.
