Liverpool Complete £30m Deadline Day Transfer
The 18-year-old has agreed a six-year contract and will stay on loan at Genk this season before joining Liverpool in 2027.
- Liverpool have agreed to sign 18-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans from Genk in a deal worth $41m, with the player remaining on loan at Genk for the remainder of the season.
- The transfer secures a six-year contract as Liverpool plans for the future, with first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker entering the final year of his contract at Anfield.
- Brughmans came through the Genk academy like former star Thibaut Courtois and became the club's first-choice keeper late last season, keeping a clean sheet in a 4-0 victory against SK Beveren on Friday.
- Alongside the goalkeeper, centre-backs Mor Talla N'Diaye and Ifeanyi Ndukwe have emerged as part of Liverpool's new crop of talent, both impressing during pre-season.
- Liverpool's aggressive recruitment aims to bolster long-term squad depth and ensure continuity in goal as veteran options eventually depart, positioning the club for sustained competition.
