Liverpool have started talks with KRC Genk over signing 18-year-old goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans. Multiple reports say the Merseyside club is progressing toward an agreement to bring the teenager to Anfield.
The timing and structure of the move appears to depend on whether Liverpool’s other goalkeeper options change. The Athletic reports Brughmans is likely to stay at Genk on loan for the remainder of the season, linking the plan to the future of Giorgi Mamardashvili at Liverpool. The Independent similarly says any deal includes a loan-back arrangement rather than immediate arrival, while Yahoo Sports frames the situation as ongoing discussions with a potential transfer that could be completed later.
Across outlets, the core point is that Liverpool are pursuing Brughmans from Genk and that a loan-back for the rest of the season is the leading scenario described. Differences are mainly in emphasis—some focus on talks and negotiations, while others specify the likely loan duration and conditionality.
