Rennes left-back Adrien Truffert has agreed to a deal with Bournemouth, which is expected to open the door for Milos Kerkez's £45 million transfer to Liverpool.

According to Telegraph Sport,  23-year-old Truffert has reached an agreement on personal terms and will have a medical later this week.

Kerkez is expected to move to Anfield soon after he was allowed to depart the Hungary squad for personal reasons, and would become Arne Slot's second signing of the summer, following the capture of Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong. 

A blockbuster deal for Frimpong's former Leverkusen teammate Florian Wirtz is also said to be not too far from agreement.

“Milos Kerkez left the men’s A-team training camp in Telk for private reasons, so he will not travel with the team to Baku, the venue of the match against Azerbaijan,” a Hungarian Football Federation statement read on the Kerkez situation.

Meanwhile, Jobe Bellingham has completed his big-money move to Borussia Dortmund from Sunderland in time to feature at the Club World Cup.

The Bundesliga club have confirmed the 19-year-old midfielder has signed a five-year deal after they agreed a deal with the Black Cats which it is understood could eventually amount to almost £32million.

A post on the club's X account read: "Welcome to Dortmund, Jobe! The 19-year-old England U21 international joins on a five-year deal and will wear number 77 at the FIFA Club World Cup."

Bellingham, who joined the Black Cats from Birmingham for £1.5m during the summer of 2023, is following in the footsteps of older brother and England international Jude, who spent three seasons with Dortmund before moving to Real Madrid.

He told the club's official website: "I'm very happy to be a Borussia Dortmund player now and to fight for titles together with this great club.

"I want to play my part in celebrating success with these great fans here and will work on myself and with the team every day.

"And I'm very happy that I'll be wearing the black and yellow jersey at the FIFA Club World Cup.
