Manchester United is reportedly eyeing a move for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez as part of their summer transfer plans. With new owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos at the helm, the Red Devils are keen to strengthen their defense for the upcoming season. Kerkez, who joined Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar last summer, has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs seeking defensive reinforcements.
The 20-year-old Hungary international has made 16 appearances for Andoni Iraola’s side this season, showcasing his potential in the English top flight. United’s defensive woes, highlighted by conceding 467 shots in the Premier League this season, have prompted the club to consider adding Kerkez to their squad. However, they face competition from Chelsea, who have also expressed interest in the talented left-back and have sent scouts to watch him play.
Bournemouth stands to make a profit on Kerkez, having acquired him for a modest fee of £15.5 million last July. If Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea decides to pursue him, it could signal changes in their defensive lineup, particularly at the left-back position, with players like Ian Matseen and Marc Cucurella potentially departing Stamford Bridge.
Here is the highlight video of Milos Kerkez’s skills.
