Milos Kerkez left AC Milan due to a lack of chances, and after moving to Liverpool this summer, he is looking forward to facing his former club.
There was no denying the talent that Kerkez had coming through the Milanese ranks. However, the issue was the lack of space. At left-back, Milan already had Theo Hernandez, who was growing into one of the best full-backs in the world.
So, the decision was made for him to leave for the Netherlands, to develop in a starting role, which he did. That took him to Bournemouth, and after that, with him continuing to grow, he moved to Liverpool, as a result of being the best left-back in the Premier League last season.
‘It will be fun’
Of course, this path to a European-standard defender was already there for Kerkez, but it was not to be for him and the Rossoneri, which is a part of football. Especially when you have good players at the club in the same position.
Today, he spoke before the Reds’ game against the Diavolo this weekend, and MilanNews relays his words about facing his old club.
“Obviously, I played there and trained a lot with the first team, and I know a lot of the guys. It will be fun, and it will also be good for me to get more minutes and adapt better to my teammates. I can’t wait, it’s my old team and I have some great memories.”
