Milos Kerkez, once signed by Paolo Maldini during his tenure at AC Milan, has become a standout talent in European football. After a year in Italy, he moved to AZ Alkmaar, where his abilities flourished, leading to a £40 million transfer to Liverpool. Liverpool's sporting director, Richard Hughes, played a key role in securing Kerkez, who is seen as a vital addition to the team's roster. His decision to represent Hungary internationally further highlights his commitment and emerging legacy in football.
"You can't say no when Maldini calls you," Kerkez told Hungarian outlet Nemzeti Sport, reflecting on his 2021 transfer from ETO FC Győr to Milan.
Four years on, Kerkez is one of the most exciting defensive talents in Europe and has just earned himself a £40 million move to Liverpool.
Liverpool's sporting director Richard Hughes, who signed the defender from AZ during his time as Bournemouth's technical director, was instrumental in getting Kerkez's move to Anfield.
He was vindicated when he became the youngest player (20 years and 221 days) to represent Hungary.
