Liverpool target Milos Kerkez has “liked” a post by Fabrizio Romano on Instagram that confirms Mo Salah will extend his contract with the Reds.
The Bournemouth left-back has been heavily linked with a transfer to Anfield, with some reports even suggesting that talks over the move have already begun.
Kerkez could well be a teammate of Salah’s next season and supporters on X believe that his social media activity is more evidence that he will be making the switch to Merseyside very soon:
He will definitely join LFC.

He’s not even trying to hide anymore

He can't wait to supply crosses to him

I mean Kerkez should be a for sure signing. Add Kelleher to the deal and Bournemouth should take it.

He wants us

Kerkez does have other suitors
Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have also been credited with an interest in the Hungarian international in recent months.
However, Liverpool do have one key advantage over the competition in that sporting director Richard Hughes knows Kerkez well, having negotiated his transfer to Bournemouth during his time on the South Coast.
Liverpool are expected to be busy in the transfer market
Left-back is just one of several positions that the Reds are likely to reinforce this summer. Darwin Nunez is expected to be sold so a new No.9 is set to be brought in.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will join Real Madrid on a free transfer which suggests a new right-back is on the agenda too. A replacement for Luis Diaz may also be needed. There are doubts about the Colombian’s future with contract talks having stalled.
