Manchester City are among the teams who want to buy Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, according to reports.
Sky Sports News claims that Pep Guardiola’s side are “interested” in the 21-year-old, along with Liverpool and Real Madrid.
While plenty of fans on X would be open to Kerkez making the move to the Etihad, not everyone thinks it will happen:

How much will Kerkez cost?
It has been suggested that Bournemouth would want between £40m and £45m for the Hungarian international, which is almost triple the fee they paid to secure the player’s services at the start of last season.
Kerkez has caught the eye this campaign, with Andoni Iraola’s side having exceeded all expectations with the club sitting 8th in the Premier League table after 33 games played.
Do Man City need a left-back?
Some supporters believe that Nico O’Reilly’s recent performances mean that adding another option on the left-hand side of defence should not be a top priority for the Cityzens.
However, Guardiola has made it clear in recent weeks that he wants to sign a recognised fullback. Juventus’s Andrea Cambiaso has been the top target up until now, while there is also believed to be interest in Tottenham’s Patrick Dorgu.
The competition for Kerkez does suggest he would be a more difficult target to attain but he is clearly a player that the club would like to bring in.
