Milos Kerkez makes Liverpool transfer claim on camera

Milos Kerkez took the wild step of making a Liverpool transfer claim right on camera. Here's what he had to say.

It's no secret that Liverpool want to sign Milos Kerkez. There have been reports floating about for a few months now and Anfield Watch understands that the Reds kickstarted talks for the player in 2024.

It's also no secret why they'd be after him. Kerkez has been one of the best left-backs in the Premier League this season in a high-flying Bournemouth team.

That would get Liverpool interested anyway - the fact he's only 21 years old makes him a very exciting signing. He's one that the Reds will likely push for, but they won't be the only ones.

This kind of talent naturally brings about interest from all over the place. Kerkez, though, might have his eyes on one club: Manchester United.

He's a boyhood fan and will be hoping to go there. Whether they can afford to buy him, however, is another thing entirely.

But while that's an uncertainty, it seems one thing is for sure when it comes to Kerkez. He's given a bizarre statement on moving to Liverpool.

Kerkez put up a YouTube stream this week where he talked to fans. They threw questions and comments his way, he gave responses.

Normal YouTube stuff.

But what wasn't normal was how adamant Kerekz was that he wouldn't be moving to Liverpool. Fans were throwing up the usual 'come to Liverpool stuff' that you always get on things like this but the Hungarian actually responded to it.

"Come to Liverpool," said one message and Kerkez repeated it before repeating the next one, too: "Stay on the South coast!"

"Yes, yes," he responded to that. "I will not go to Liverpool. For everybody listening, I will not go to Liverpool."

Well that seems to be that, then. Not quite, as far as we see it.

We'd be surprised if Kerkez had feelings as strong as that should the Reds come bidding in the summer. Liverpool remain a massive step up and they need a new left-back.

What's perfectly clear, however, is that Kerkez would take some convincing
