“[Kerkez] is in very good shape,” said Salloi Full scope (quotes via Liverpool Echo). “[His signing] is absolutely on the table at Liverpool, sporting director [Richard Hughes] who took him to England is now in Liverpool.
“We also spoke about it with Dominik Szoboszlai, and he also knows that he is in this and that their interest [in Kerkez] is real.”
