Marcos Senesi reacts to Milos Kerkez as Bournemouth to Liverpool deal agreed
Marcos Senesi reacted to Milos Kerkez on social media after Liverpool agreed a deal to sign the Bournemouth star.
The Hungarian’s move to the Premier League champions has been one of football’s worst kept secrets this summer.
The 21-year-old was one of the best-performing fullbacks in England’s top flight last season, scoring twice and assisting five times.

Liverpool are prepared to accept an offer for current left-back Andy Robertson, Football Insider revealed, and Kerkez will be the perfect replacement.
Pre-empting the deal, Bournemouth signed Adrien Truffert from Rennes in France as a replacement for Merseyside-bound man.
But with plenty of other players departing this summer, the Cherries find themselves in a predicament with plenty of cash to spend, but lots of key positions in need of filling.

Kerkez is currently enjoying a break away from the action in Serbia, and the defender shared a selfie on Instagram captioned with a peace emoji.
Senesi liked the post in response, and the Argentine centre-back looks likely to take on a more prominent role in Bournemouth’s backline next season.

Football Insider Verdict
Bournemouth are paying the price of success this summer, as Europe’s elite come calling for the core of their squad that almost qualified for European football.
Dean Huijsen has departed for Real Madrid in a deal that looks like great value for money, after playing with the club for just one season.
However, issues are now beginning to arise as, alongside Kerkez, Illia Zabarnyi also looks set to leave for PSG.
Bournemouth are facing the very real prospect of having to rebuild their backline almost in its entirety.
Andoni Iraola will likely lean on Senesi to play more often, given it will be a tricky task finding two Premier League-ready centre-backs in the space of one summer transfer window.
