“Put pen to paper” – Fabrizio Romano delivers midday update on Liverpool’s latest confirmed signing.

Fabrizio Romano has reported a confirmed new signing for Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.

While fans eagerly await developments in the club’s pursuit of Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez, Romano has advised Liverpool supporters to stay calm, assuring them that progress is being made behind the scenes by Richard Hughes.

Romano Confirms Pecsi Signing for Liverpool

In a post on X just after midday, Romano announced that young Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi has officially joined the club. The renowned journalist wrote: “2005-born Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi has signed his contract as new Liverpool player. Exclusive story, confirmed.”

Pecsi Could Become a Future First-Team Contender

Liverpool’s goalkeeping setup is undergoing major changes this summer, with new additions and departures shaping the squad. Giorgi Mamardashvili’s move from Valencia is set to be finalized on July 1st, positioning him as Alisson Becker’s immediate backup following the £18 million sale of Caoimhin Kelleher to Brentford. Meanwhile, Harvey Davies and Vitezslav Jaros have both extended their contracts, though at least one could be loaned out in the coming months.

Hungarian journalist Bence Bocsák has praised Pecsi as one of the most promising young goalkeepers in Europe. The 20-year-old was a regular starter for Puskás Akadémia, helping them finish second in Hungary’s top division and qualify for the UEFA Conference League qualifiers.

According to Tribuna, Pecsi blends physical prowess with technical skill and has earned praise from coaches for his composure, smart decision-making, and ability to play out from the back. His experience with senior football in Hungary should serve him well, even if the league isn’t among Europe’s elite.

Pecsi is expected to initially play at youth level for Liverpool during the 2025/26 season, with the possibility of a loan move for further development. In the long term, he could emerge as Mamardashvili’s primary understudy—or even challenge for the number one spot at Anfield once Alisson moves on.

While not as headline-grabbing as potential deals for Wirtz or Kerkez, Pecsi’s signing reflects Liverpool’s long-term vision. It may prove to be a shrewd move in the years ahead.
