Chelsea & Liverpool need to pay £45m to sign Bournemouth left-back

Chelsea and Liverpool will have to pay £45 million to purchase Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez at the end of the season, according to The Times.

The Hungary international joined the Cherries from AZ Alkmaar two years ago and he has already established himself as a key player.

Kerkez has eight goal contributions from left-back this term, and reports claim that this could be his final campaign at the South Coast outfit.

Chelsea and Liverpool are eyeing upgrades in the left-back department. The Cherries are prepared to sanction his sale for around £45 million.

Kerkez could be one of many players heading out of Bournemouth.

Dean Huijsen has also been linked with Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid. He has a £50 million release clause in his contract.

Antoine Semenyo could also head for the exit door. Al Nassr are reportedly preparing a huge £75 million bid for the Ghana international.

There is also speculation that Justin Kluivert could contemplate a new challenge elsewhere if the Cherries don't qualify for Europe.
