Liverpool agree to terms for Genk goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans

Liverpool have reached an agreement with Racing Genk to sign 18-year-old goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans for a fee of 35 million euros. The deal includes a contract spanning five or six years for the player, who currently stands 6'7. The clubs are currently determining whether the transfer will take place immediately or if Brughmans will remain at Racing Genk to finish the season. This acquisition follows a series of recent moves by the club to secure younger talent for future development. While the club already employs Alisson as the starting goalkeeper, the addition of Brughmans provides a potential long-term option in the position. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Giorgi Mamardashvili may depart the team, with links to Nottingham Forest.
