Liverpool are also preparing to finalize the high-profile arrival of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, with the midfielder set to undergo a medical at Melwood this week.
Kerkez is widely seen as the heir to Andy Robertson, who turned 31 earlier this year and is now being linked with a potential move to Atletico Madrid.
While discussions are said to be nearing completion, Kerkez remains a Bournemouth player for now as both sides work toward finalizing the agreement.
But that has not stopped him greeting his soon-to-be-new fans. Speaking on a live stream with a Serbia-based Liverpool fans group, the Bournemouth full-back reportedly said: “Hi! Greetings to all Liverpool fans.”
He was also seen holding up a flag of the Liverpool supporter group.
One fan replied with: “A legend already. He love us (sic).” Another added: “He’s announced himself.”
Another support said “he must have signed his contract because these no way he would risk putting the transfer at risk because he couldn’t keep his mouth closed (sic.)”
One concerned supporter offered: “I hope Bournemouth fans don’t get upset with this…. I can imagine the rage if it were Trent … Except this guy has already signed.”
Bournemouth have signed Kerkez’s replacement, announcing the £14.5m signing of Adrien Truffert from Rennes this week.
Kerkez would seemingly replace Robertson as first-choice left-back, with Tsimikas remaining as Arne Slot’s back-up option.
