Fabrizio Romano confirms 'agreement is done' for record-breaking Liverpool deal

A lot of attention has been put on Florian Wirtz, but another record-breaking transfer is close.

The Reds have been incredibly busy in this early part of the summer and now that one transfer has been confirmed, another two are on the brink of being announced once their medicals are scheduled.

Money has often been spent frugally at Liverpool, but the times are a changing and the club has no choice but to adhere to the new tide of transfer spending in order to survive.

Potential is now an incredibly expensive commodity and a track record of success is not necessary for a player to be sold for a significant transfer fee. Getting a bargain in this day and age is tough.

Kerkez to Liverpool will break historic records

Milos Kerkez's impending move to Merseyside has been rumoured for quite some time. The Hungarian is our priority signing at left-back and it's now inconceivable that anyone else could join.

At 21 years old, the Premier League team of the season full-back has outshone everyone else and his game fits perfectly into Arne Slot's plans. You would struggle to find anyone with a better fit to us.

Not only is his potential enormous, but his current skillset is a major upgrade on the options that Liverpool have available right now and so the financial cost of signing him is irrelevant. We need him.

But the reported £45m fee will not be a drop in the ocean. Jeremie Frimpong's move broke the club's previous full-back transfer fee record by over double, which was Nathaniel Clyne for £12.5m.

Kerkez's fee - while unconfirmed - could almost quadruple Clyne's record, putting at least £15m on Frimpong's record which might only last for just over a week.

Speaking on the Here We Go podcast, Fabrizio Romano gave us an update on his situation.

He said: "We have to wait for the formal steps... it will take some days - in order to meet again with Bournemouth, reach an agreement on the transfer fee. But it's advancing quite well.

"The player wants to go to Liverpool - it's already clear. The message was sent a long time ago. The agreement on personal terms is done."

As such, we're now into the waiting game. Other news outlets are often keen to get ahead of the curve, but Fabrizio's word is often final and true confirmation. In a few days, we'll have clarity.
