“Put pen to paper” – Fabrizio Romano provides midday update on Liverpool’s latest confirmed signing
Fabrizio Romano confirmed a new Liverpool signing on Saturday afternoon.
While fans eagerly watch Liverpool’s pursuit of Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez, Romano urges supporters to remain patient, noting that progress is ongoing behind the scenes with Richard Hughes.
Romano Confirms Liverpool Signing of Pecsi
Shortly after midday, Romano announced on X that Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi, born in 2005, has officially signed with Liverpool. He described the news as an exclusive confirmation.
Pecsi Seen as a Potential Future First-Team Player
Liverpool’s goalkeeping squad is experiencing significant changes this summer. Giorgi Mamardashvili’s transfer from Valencia is expected to complete by July 1, making him the immediate backup to Alisson Becker after Caoimhin Kelleher’s £18 million move to Brentford. Meanwhile, Harvey Davies and Vitezslav Jaros have renewed contracts, though loan moves may be on the horizon.
Hungarian journalist Bence Bocsák praised Pecsi as one of Europe’s most promising young goalkeepers. At 20, he was a key player for Puskás Akadémia, contributing to their second-place finish in Hungary’s top league and qualification for the UEFA Conference League qualifiers.
Tribuna reports that Pecsi combines physical strength with technical ability and has earned accolades for his calmness, decision-making, and skill in playing out from the back. His experience in senior Hungarian football is expected to benefit him, despite the league not being among Europe’s elite.
Pecsi will likely start in Liverpool’s youth teams during the 2025/26 season, possibly going out on loan for further development. Over time, he could become Mamardashvili’s main backup or even compete for the starting goalkeeper role when Alisson eventually leaves.
Though not as high-profile as the potential signings of Wirtz or Kerkez, Pecsi’s signing aligns with Liverpool’s long-term strategy and could turn out to be a smart investment.
