Two deals for 2027 expected at Liverpool
- Published
Though any late additions for Liverpool look unlikely right now, they are expecting to complete two deals for next summer.
Genk goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans, 18, is set to sign a deal for a move to Anfield in 2027. According to Belgian sources, the proposed deal is in the region of £30m and Liverpool will loan Brughmans back to the Belgian side for the rest of the season.
As it stands, Liverpool have Alisson, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Freddie Woodman and Viteszlav Jaros as their goalkeeping options, but with Alisson's contract set to expire next summer and Mamardashvili's future now looking uncertain, Brughmans could be an option from the summer of 2027 onwards.
Similarly, the Reds are also closing in on a deal worth £4.3m for St-Etienne's Djylian N'Guessan. The France Under-20 international is a versatile forward and turned 18 at the weekend. N'Guessan will join Brest on loan and then link up with Liverpool in January or next summer.
Both deals have come about as a result of work from Liverpool's global talent department that is led by Matt Newberry. Earlier this year, they signed Mor Talla N'diaye and Ifeanyi Ndukwe after the teenage centre-backs both impressed at the U17 World Cup in Qatar last November.
