Liverpool pursues transfer of Genk goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans
Summary

Liverpool is currently in negotiations to sign 18-year-old goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans from KRC Genk. Reports indicate the teenager is undergoing a medical examination as part of a deal valued at approximately £30 million. The agreement potentially involves keeping the player at Genk for the remainder of the season before he joins the Premier League club next summer. Concurrently, Liverpool's current second-choice goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is the subject of transfer interest from Nottingham Forest. The potential departure of Mamardashvili raises questions regarding depth behind Alisson Becker, especially given the latter's history of injuries. While no final terms have been confirmed for either movement, the club faces a tight deadline with the transfer window set to close soon.
