Dominik Szoboszlai Sparks Liverpool Transfer Speculation with Message to Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez
Dominik Szoboszlai’s recent comment on Instagram has intensified rumors linking Liverpool with a potential move for Bournemouth’s standout left-back Milos Kerkez.
Kerkez delivered a sensational performance on Saturday, scoring in Bournemouth’s impressive 4-1 victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park. The Cherries, despite a depleted squad, stunned the Magpies, ending their nine-match winning streak in dominant fashion.
While Justin Kluivert’s hat-trick grabbed headlines, Kerkez’s stunning 96th-minute strike sealed the win. The 21-year-old celebrated by removing his shirt, marking the high point of Bournemouth’s season so far.
Kerkez later posted an image of his celebration on Instagram with the caption, “I talk on the pitch,” potentially alluding to ongoing transfer rumors. The young defender has drawn interest from Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United. However, the Liverpool links are particularly noteworthy, especially after Szoboszlai’s playful response, “Yes my son,” accompanied by a red heart emoji.
Szoboszlai and Kerkez share a bond as teammates for the Hungarian national team, adding fuel to the speculation about a possible Anfield move. Reports suggest Liverpool are actively seeking a left-back amid concerns over Andy Robertson’s recent form. The Reds have reportedly contacted Kerkez’s representatives, with their Director of Football, Richard Hughes, who initially brought Kerkez to Bournemouth, potentially giving them an edge.
Kerkez has contributed two goals and three assists in 22 Premier League appearances this season, establishing himself as a key player for Bournemouth. His performances have helped propel the Cherries to sixth place in the league, with a remarkable 10-match unbeaten run.
Despite interest from top clubs, Bournemouth reportedly have no plans to sell Kerkez in the January transfer window. This stance remains firm even after the signing of left-back Julio Soler from Lanus for a fee that could rise to £11.5 million with add-ons.
After Saturday’s memorable victory, Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola expressed pride in his team’s effort. “It is difficult to find a better win,” Iraola said. “We came into this game very thin, and everybody played their part. We have young players in key positions, and they were fantastic.”
This result reinforces Bournemouth’s rising form and Kerkez’s reputation as one of the league’s most promising young talents, making him a hot commodity in the transfer market.
