Manchester United may be edging closer to signing transfer target Milos Kerkez, given a recent update on the player’s professional life.
With Bournemouth in seventh place in the Premier League, Kerkez has attracted interest from a variety of elite clubs due to his impressive performances in his high-flying side.
Previously, The Peoples Person relayed that Liverpool and Man United were going toe-to-toe in a race to sign the 21 year old.
More recent reports claimed that Real Madrid have entered the fray, signalling the massive impression that Kerkez has made with Europe’s elite.
Just last week, Fabrizio Romano explained that United’s interest in Kerkez appears to be more concrete than Liverpool’s, perhaps signalling that Ruben Amorim may look to the defender in the upcoming transfer market.
Yesterday, Romano came out with another important update regarding Kerkez’s situation.
“Bournemouth LB Milos Kerkez has signed with Fali Ramadani’s Lian Sports as new agency from 2025,” Romano posted on X.
“He’s definitely one to watch, with Man United among top clubs monitoring his progress as reported.”

Not only is the Hungarian’s talent a drawcard for United, but also the club’s need for a proper left-back.
With Luke Shaw injured and Tyrell Malacia struggling to settle after returning from a long-term injury of his own, right-back Diogo Dalot has been utilised on the left, out of his natural position.
It thus makes sense for United to pursue the young and in-form Kerkez as a potential long-term solution.
With the January transfer window set to open in a matter of hours, United fans will soon learn whether Amorim will be able to secure some exciting new signings, such as Kerkez, as he looks to turn United’s season around.
