Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have been named as potential suitors Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez.
It is still not entirely clear what the future holds for the Hungary international, but he has impressed in the Premier League season and it is no surprise to see big clubs showing interest in him.
According to TEAMtalkManchester United are keen to sign a new left-back, with Kerkez at £40m. emerging as a key target, while Chelsea have also spotted the player in the past.

It appears the Blues’ interest may have waned for now as they have plenty of other strong options at left-back, while the report suggests Liverpool are interested, even if Reds sources have downplayed the links for now.
Milos Kerkez transfer: Is it the answer to Manchester United’s wing-back woes?
New United manager Ruben Amorim likes to play with full-backs, but he has inherited a squad that has no one to fit the role.
That left side is also a particularly weak area of the Red Devils squad, with Luke Shaw having a pretty terrible injury history, while Tyrell Malacia has also only recently returned after a long spell out.
Kerkez has shown that he could be ideally suited to play as a left wing-back for Amorim’s side, so this deal certainly looks like a lot of sense.
However, it remains to be seen whether MUFC will be able to afford £40m so easily after spending so heavily in the summer and with Guardian citing that owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has some concerns about player sales.
It may take an exit or two before the club can come up with the kind of money to tempt Bournemouth into selling one of their most important players.
