Bournemouth's reported Milos Kerkez price tag ahead of potential summer transfer

The price that Bournemouth reportedly want for Milos Kerkez this summer has been revealed, with Liverpool and Chelsea said to be interested in a transfer.

One of the outstanding left-backs in the Premier League this season, along with Rayan Ait-Nouri and Antonee Robinson has been Kerkez of Bournemouth, with the Hungarian proving to be a bright spark down the left of Andoni Ireola's defence.

And given that Kerkez (21) is younger than both Ait-Nouri and Robinson, it seems like Bournemouth are going to have to field interest in the left-back's services from several top European clubs.

Should Kerkez move on from Bournemouth this summer, something the left-back is believed to be interested in doing, then the club are going to want a suitable fee for his services.

GIVEMESPORT reported Ben Jacobs are revealed that the fee the club are hoping for is more than £40m, which would have Bournemouth making a serious profit on the £15m they paid for Kerkez in 2023.

Bournemouth will seek a fee in excess of £40m, as GIVEMESPORT previously revealed. They want close to three times the price paid in 2023 if they are to sanction a sale.

While not confirmed, Bournemouth having been theorised as using the £30m that Manchester United paid for Patrick Dorgu in January, someone without any Premier League experience, as a reference point for establishing Kerkez's fee,

Several top teams in the Premier League and wider Europe are in search of a top left-back, including Manchester City and Chelsea.

Richard Hughes', Liverpool's sporting director, was the man who brought Kerkez to the Premier League two years ago, so it isn't surprising to read reports claiming that the Reds' have also put the Hungarian on their shortlist this summer.

Liverpool and Chelsea, according to GIVEMESPORT, are two of the clubs interested in signing Kerkez, with a move potentially one that could materialise at the end of the current Premier League season, which Liverpool are seen as the favourites to win.

Arne Slot has hinted that this could be a big summer for Liverpool in terms of incoming and outgoings, and reports suggest that Kerkez could be one of the players that the 2020 Premier League winners look to bring in.

Bournemouth have been impressive in the Premier League this season, but the club are facing the prospect of being raided of their best players, and even their manager, this summer.

Ben Jacobs has also revealed that Dean Huijsen is likely to move within the Premier League this summer, despite interest in his services from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

The young defender has a £50m release clause, and is believed to be someone that several top Premier League clubs are looking at, such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City.

Ben Jacobs tweeted: "Dean Huijsen likely to move within the Premier League as five clubs seek a fast deal. Real Madrid or Bayern Munich aren't as advanced as Liverpool or Chelsea."

The same tweet explains that Bournemouth will entertain bids of over £40m for Kerkez, as noted previously, as well as £75m or more for Antoine Semenyo, another of the club's exciting talents.

Jacobs has also stated that Bournemouth's owner is set for face-to-face talks with Ireola over the prospect of a new contract, with the Spanish manager reportedly one of the names Tottenham are considering should they part ways with Ange Postecoglu.

However, it seems like Ireola may be extending and remaining at Bournemouth, leading to Tottenham having to turn their attentions towards another manager, with Marco Silva of Fulham reportedly another name in the frame.

The focus for Bournemouth for the remainder of the season will be sneaking into the European places, with a spot in the top six deemed to be unlikely, but not totally off the cards, according to the latest odds from Ladbrokes.
