Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign 18 year old goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans from Genk, with the Belgian club confirming the agreement.
Brughmans will remain with Genk on loan for the upcoming campaign before making the move to Anfield ahead of the 2027/28 season. The arrangement will allow the young goalkeeper to continue his development with regular football in Belgium before joining Liverpool’s goalkeeping setup.
Softfootball understands that Liverpool see Brughmans as a long term investment and believe the teenager has the potential to develop into a senior goalkeeper in the future. His continued development at Genk will now be closely monitored before his eventual arrival in England.
The agreement is another indication of Liverpool’s focus on identifying promising young players and securing their services early. Brughmans will have the opportunity to gain valuable first team experience before facing the challenge of competing for a place within Liverpool’s squad.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are also preparing for movement in their midfield, with Curtis Jones set for an Inter Milan medical after an agreement was reached between the clubs.
Jones has been an important part of Liverpool’s first team in recent seasons, but the proposed move would see the England international begin a new chapter in Serie A. The medical represents a key step before the transfer can be formally completed.
Liverpool’s decision to secure Brughmans while allowing him to remain at Genk demonstrates their long term planning, while the situation surrounding Jones points towards further changes within the senior squad.
The Reds will now continue working on the remaining formalities for both deals as they shape their squad for the seasons ahead.
