Liverpool are reportedly on the verge of completing a record-breaking transfer.
While it’s not Florian Wirtz just yet, the club has reached an agreement with highly rated goalkeeper Armin Pecsi.
With Caoimhin Kelleher making a move to Brentford this transfer window, Arne Slot is aiming to strengthen his goalkeeping options.
Fabrizio Romano Confirms the Deal
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that Liverpool are close to finalizing a deal with Puskás Akadémia for Pecsi—one that marks a record sale for the Hungarian club.
Who is Armin Pecsi?
According to journalist Bence Bocsák, Pecsi is regarded as one of Europe’s most promising young goalkeepers. The 20-year-old has delivered standout performances in the Hungarian top tier, making 36 appearances in the 2024/25 season and helping Puskás Akadémia finish second in the league.
Future Planning at Anfield
Looking ahead, it’s expected that Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili will compete for the starting spot in 2025/26. However, Liverpool are clearly investing in future talent by bringing in Pecsi.
It’s likely the young keeper will be loaned out—either back to Hungary or to another club that can provide regular game time to support his development.
With Kelleher’s departure, Liverpool’s strategy to sign not one but potentially two goalkeepers is a bold and proactive one. Full credit to Richard Hughes and his recruitment team—fans will be eager to watch Armin Pecsi’s progress in the coming seasons.
