Liverpool are reportedly close to sealing a record-breaking deal.
While it’s not Florian Wirtz just yet, the Reds have reached an agreement with promising goalkeeper Armin Pecsi.
With Caoimhin Kelleher making a move to Brentford, Arne Slot’s side is keen to reinforce the goalkeeping department.
Fabrizio Romano Confirms Deal
Although Giorgi Mamardashvili is expected to join the squad and likely fill the vacant No. 2 role, Liverpool appear to be doubling down by securing another keeper.
On Friday afternoon, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed via X (formerly Twitter) that the club is on the verge of finalizing a deal with Hungary’s Puskas Akademia — reportedly the most lucrative outgoing transfer in the Hungarian club’s history.
Who is Armin Pecsi?
According to journalist Bence Bocsak, Pecsi ranks among Europe’s top young goalkeeping prospects.
The 20-year-old delivered standout performances in the Hungarian first division during the 2024/25 season, making 36 appearances and helping Puskas Akademia secure second place.
Planning Ahead
It’s expected that Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili will compete for the starting spot in 2025/26.
Still, Pecsi’s arrival hints at long-term planning. He’s likely to be loaned out — either back to the Hungarian league or to a club that can provide valuable game time and development opportunities.
With Kelleher’s departure, Liverpool’s swift action to secure two goalkeepers shows a clear commitment to depth and future planning.
