Liverpool's €35m Transfer Is Done - but His Destination This Season Still Isn't Certain
- Liverpool agreed to sign Genk's 18-year-old goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans for a fee in the region of £35m, with the Belgian teenager remaining at Genk for the season to gain first-team experience.
- With only 13 league appearances, the 6ft 7in Belgium Under-19 goalkeeper has limited first-team experience, making a loan back to Genk essential for his development before arriving at Anfield next summer.
- The transfer fee is in the region of £35m, representing a significant long-term investment, though initial estimates had suggested a higher price point for Brughmans.
- Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper Alisson is out of contract next summer, while deputy Giorgi Mamardashvili attracts interest from Nottingham Forest, though the club does not intend for Brughmans to arrive yet.
- Liverpool are likely to conclude a £106m deal for Bradley Barcola, who will become their fourth summer signing following Jeremy Jacquet, Victor Munoz, and on-loan Ronald Araujo.
