Hungary’s Kerkez in a Whirlwind of Rumors…
In a move more surprising than a cat on a hot tin roof, Hungary’s own Milos Kerkez has spun out of his national training camp faster than a football bootfire amid turbocharged rumors of Liverpool’s interest. The 21-year-old dynamo, usually seen kicking it up for AZ Alkmaar, sidestepped Sweden’s two-goal shimmy past Hungary and won’t be making the jaunt to Azerbaijan for a kebab showdown in Baku. Word on the grapevine (or should that be the Goulash grapevine?) is that Bournemouth holds Kerkez under closer lock and key than a chocolate biscuit in a diet camp, valuing him at a whopping $60 million (ÂŁ45 million).
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s other Scouser-licensed player, Dominik Szoboszlai, was left scratching his head and shoes after Hungary stumbled silly-style against the Swedes in what Marco Rossi cryptically branded “various problems.” A whisper here, a tale there—what could Milos’ mysterious reasons be? Sleepless nights over Sweden’s might or perhaps visions of the Kop’s roaring floodlights?
Andy Robertson, Liverpool’s left-flanker, showed more calm than an ice-cream at the North Pole, speaking in BBC tones about Kerkez’s potential arrival. “We ain’t daft, but mates, until his boots are on Anfield’s grass, it’s second thoughts territory.” With Liverpool making moves like a salsa dancer in winter sales for Bayer’s Florian Wirtz, they’ve got their hands fuller than a goalkeeper with buttery fingers. Stay tuned, as this transfer circus keeps rolling!
