“Liverpool are 100% convinced that the transfer of Milos #Kerkez will go through.
“It is set to be finalised once Florian Wirtz has signed and been presented.
“A verbal agreement between #LFC and Kerkez is done.”

He is known for his pace, work rate, and aggressive style of play, Kerkez has long been on the radar of top clubs, and Liverpool now look poised to secure his services.
The Hungarian has expressed a desire to play at the highest level, and joining Liverpool, alongside a major talent like Wirtz, would signal the club’s serious intent to strengthen their squad and make the best team to defender their Premier League title next season.
While Kerkez could arrive at the club soon, Darwin Nunez may be heading out of Anfield as Slot aims to reshuffle his attacking options.
