The Reds have been linked with the left-back for months and have now made contact with the Cherries ahead of tabling a formal offer.

Kerkez is believed to be desperate to make the move to Anfield, where his friend and Hungary national team captain Dominik Szoboszlai also plays, but negotiations are ongoing over a potential £45million agreement.

Reds sporting director Richard Hughes is in dialogue with his Bournemouth counterpart Simon Francis over the terms and there is an expectation that Kerkez will move to Merseyside at some stage this summer.
