On June 26, Premier League Reds Liverpool officially announced that Hungarian international defender Kolkitz joined the team. The 21-year-old left-back from Bournemouth has undergone a medical check-up from Liverpool and has signed a long-term contract at the AXA training center. To get him, Liverpool paid about £40 million in transfer fees.

Korkez, born in November 2003, is only 21 years old and comes from Vienna Rapid Youth Training. He switched to AC Milan U19 in February 2021, and joined Alkmaar one year later for 2.7 million euros. In the summer of 2023, Bournemouth spent 17.9 million euros to bring Kolkerz to the Premier League schedule. In 2 seasons, Kolkz has played in 74 games for Bournemouth and contributed 2 goals and 8 assists in 41 games last season. Last season, he handed in 41 games with 2 goals and 5 assists. All 38 starts in the Premier League, scoring 2 goals and 5 assists, and averaged 1.37 steals, 1.16 interceptions and 2.63 clearances per game, sending 1,348 passes and 36 key passes, with a passing success rate of 80%.

As a full-back, Kolkz has a height of 1.80 meters and a very fast speed. His physical confrontation, foot skills and passes are all first-class. His assists on the left are one of Bournemouth's most important offensive methods. On the German transfer market website, Kolkz's net worth is 45 million euros, and now joins Liverpool with 40 million pounds. This price is really fair.

Korkez's ability to choose Liverpool has a lot to do with the latter's team captain Sobersloy, who made great contributions in convincing him to join. Liverpool's chief supervisor Richard Seus played a key role, not only did the final transfer fee be lower than the £45 million that Bournemouth wanted at the beginning, but also won more ideal payment terms. It is worth mentioning that Kolkz signed when Seuss was the director of Bourne Hats, who worked at the Vitality Stadium for a full 20 years.

Korkez's joining means that Liverpool's wings have completed the renewal. His two wings with Flynnon will become Anfield's most anticipated offensive combination in the new season. Before this, Robertson and Alexander Arnold's wings were the biggest magic weapon for Liverpool to dominate the Premier League and even European arenas and win the club's honor Grand Slam. Since Robertson joined in the summer of 2017, he and Arnold have become the main full-back of the Klopp era. The two of them were also the most important offensive method for the Red Army.

However, this summer, Arnold, whose contract with Liverpool expired, left the team and joined Real Madrid, and the 31-year-old Robertson gradually became unable to do so. Under this circumstance, Liverpool quickly launched a renewal plan. They first completed the joining of Leverkusen's right-wing Flynnpon, and now they brought Kolkz to Anfield Stadium. Such steady, accurate and ruthless signings are really amazing. But what is even more exciting is that Liverpool's signings did not stop because of this. This summer, they still have exciting transfer plans.
