Liverpool have secured a deal to sign Belgian goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans. The 18-year-old will spend the remainder of the current season on loan at Genk before making his move to Anfield.
The agreement includes a nominal initial fee, which could reportedly rise to £30m with performance-related bonuses. Brughmans has committed to a six-year contract with the Merseyside club.
Brughmans, who emerged from the Genk academy, became the club's first-choice goalkeeper at the close of last season. This signing is part of Liverpool's broader strategy to bring in talented young goalkeepers, following the acquisition of Armin Pesci last year.
Why this matters: The signing of Lucca Brughmans is part of Liverpool's long-term strategy for their goalkeeping position, particularly as first-choice goalkeeper Alisson is in the final year of his contract.
