Fabrizio Romano confirms star player has agreed to join Liverpool

Liverpool have already agreed a deal to sign an exciting star this summer according to Fabrizio Romano.

Richard Hughes is a very busy man right now. Since the end of the season the Liverpool sporting director has agreed a deal for Jeremie Frimpong to join the Reds.

He got Conor Bradley to sign a contract extension and then made a swoop for Florian Wirtz, which the Reds are looking to pull off for a club a record fee.

By all accounts it looks like Liverpool will get that transfer over the line. But Hughes will not stop there. Liverpool still need further investment and the club's sporting director has already struck an agreement with another player to join the Reds.

That's according to Fabrizio Romano.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano claimed that Liverpool have already struck an agreement with Milos Kerkez in order to bring him to the club.

“The agreement with the player is done. I’m told that Milos Kerkez can’t wait to join Liverpool," Romano said.

“He’s really tempted by this opportunity, tempted to be part of this fantastic squad, believing that Liverpool were already fantastic in the season just completed, and it’s going to be even better in the next one with more additions.

“There is a fantastic feeling at the moment between Liverpool and Kerkez. The agent is the same agent who represents Federico Chiesa, so the relationship is very good, and now Liverpool are advancing on this deal.”

Milos Kerkez is one of Bournemouth's biggest stars. He's also among the best players in his position in the Premier League.

So, it's a great coup for Liverpool if they indeed managed to convince him to join the club and have already struck an agreement.

But of course that's only half of the matter. Because of Kerkez's status as one of the best left-backs in European football right now, Bournemouth won't want to allow him to leave on the cheap.

Anfield Watch understands the Cherries are holding out for £45m, and it's now up to Liverpool to meet that valuation.

Hughes would be silly not to. Kerkez is everything that Arne Slot needs in his team right now.

He'd be the perfect fit and at this stage it would be a surprise if Liverpool do not get his done. Slot wants a left-back and there is no one better on the market than Kerkez.

The Hungarian seems keen on the move as well, so there is no point haggling over the fee too much. Whether he will cost £40m or £45m doesn't mean much of a difference in the long-term.
