Liverpool open talks with Genk to sign 18-year-old goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans
Liverpool FC is in negotiations to sign 18-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans from KRC Genk. The club is considering whether to integrate him immediately or loan him back to Genk to continue his development.
Why it matters
The potential transfer reflects Liverpool's strategy of scouting young talent to secure long-term depth in the goalkeeper position.
Liverpool have commenced talks to sign teenage sensation Lucca Brughmans from KRC Genk.
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri claims that the Reds are working on a deal for the 18-year-old goalkeeper to join them this summer.
They are not alone in their interest, with Bayern Munich also looking to land the Belgium U-19 international before transfer deadline.
Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano has added that they are weighing up the possibility of having the youngster join the team this season or leaving him at Genk until 2027.
Chelsea signed the then-teenager and let him spend one more season at Genk before he moved to Stamford Bridge.
Brughmans is being looked at as a replacement for Giorgi Mamardashvili, who has been linked with a move to Nottingham Forest.
