A certain amount of transfer intrigue is taking place around Milos Kerkez and Liverpool. The Hungarian left-back is known to be a target for sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot
Hughes has signed Kerkez once before, when he was technical director at Bournemouth, and has been tipped to go back in for the 21-year-old once again
Kerkez heads a left-back shortlist that also includes Rayan Ait-Nouri and Antonee Robinson as the Reds prepare to move on from their current options.
Andy Robertson has been a mainstay for much of the last decade but hasn’t always been in the lineup under Slot while the club will likely listen to offers for Kostas Tsimikas over the summer
And Kerkez, given his age and outstanding Premier League pedigree, could be the man to dominate Liverpool’s flank in the years ahead
Another subplot is Kerkez’s long-standing relationship with Hungary national team captain Dominik Szoboszlai. The Liverpool midfielder and his international teammate are known to be close and are not shy about referencing one another in the media
But Kerkez recently went to great lengths to cover up his relationship with Szoboszlai, perhaps seeking to avoid fuelling more Liverpool transfer speculation
On Thursday the full-back posted a carousel to his Instagram account entitled “enjoy the ride”. Initially among the photos was a shot of Szoboszlai and Kerkez messing around together in Hungary apparel.
Given Hungary haven’t had a get-together yet in 2025, we can only assume it came off Kerkez’s camera roll from further back in time.
Kerkez DELETES Szoboszlai post – why?
However, the post was quickly edited to REMOVE the Szoboszlai content, leading to eyebrows being raised as to the reason why.
It’s no secret the two are close, it’s no secret either that Liverpool are admirers of Kerkez’s talents. One is left to ponder exactly what – or who – made Kerkez delete the post.
Maybe the image-conscious Szoboszlai wasn’t pleased with his tight trousers, tucked-in top, white socks, eye-goggles combo and asked his mate to delete?
