The Champions League winners are seeking to tie up a move for the Cherries defender after he agreed personal terms. Interest from the Ligue 1 side came following a string of impressive performances for Andoni Iraola's side last season. The Ukrainian international, who moved to the south coast from Dynamo Kyiv in 2023, is just one of a number of players who looks set to leave the club this summer. His former defensive partner Dean Huijsen has left for Real Madrid after the Spanish giants activated his £50m release clause. Meanwhile, Milos Kerkez could join Premier League champions Liverpool, although Bournemouth are standing firm with their valuation of £45m but could do a deal for around £40m. PSG are keen to seal a deal for a Bournemouth centre-back that could be worth £60million He has enjoyed an impressive spell on the south coast under Andoni Iraola Luis Enrique's side were crowned champions of Europe last season at long last A potential move by the Reds to strengthen at left back follows interest from Atletico Madrid in signing Andy Robertson. Kerkez is widely expected to join Arne Slot's side, along with the impending move for Florian Wirtz in what will be a club record deal. The Cherries' defender moving to Anfield could well spell the end for Kostas Tsimikas this summer as Liverpool juggle on the left of defence. Robertson only delivered one assist in the Premier League last season in 33 games and made some uncharacteristic errors. Kerkez, meanwhile, was a standout for his side and delivered five for Iraola's men - netting twice himself.
