Liverpool are reportedly on the verge of finalizing a record-breaking transfer deal.
While it’s not Florian Wirtz just yet, the Reds have reached an agreement with highly rated goalkeeper Armin Pecsi.
Under new head coach Arne Slot, the club is reinforcing its goalkeeping options following Caoimhin Kelleher’s move to Brentford earlier in the transfer window.
Fabrizio Romano Confirms Deal
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Liverpool are close to sealing a deal with Hungarian club Puskás Akadémia for Pecsi. The transfer is expected to become the most lucrative sale in the Hungarian side’s history.
Who is Armin Pecsi?
Journalist Bence Bocsak has described Pecsi as one of Europe’s most promising young goalkeepers. The 20-year-old impressed in the 2024/25 season, featuring in 36 matches across all competitions and helping Puskás Akadémia secure second place in Hungary’s top division.
Liverpool Planning Ahead
While Alisson Becker and incoming signing Giorgi Mamardashvili are expected to compete for the starting spot in the 2025/26 campaign, Pecsi is clearly a long-term investment. It’s likely the young keeper will be sent out on loan, potentially returning to Hungary or joining another club where he can get regular minutes and continue developing.
With Kelleher’s departure, Liverpool appear to be proactively replenishing their goalkeeping ranks. This bold approach from sporting director Richard Hughes and his team highlights the club’s commitment to both immediate success and future potential.
There’s excitement around Pecsi’s arrival, and fans will be hoping to see more of him in a Liverpool shirt in the years ahead.
