Liverpool in Talks for New Goalkeeper, Nottingham Forest Eyeing Mamardashvili

Liverpool has initiated talks with Genk for 18-year-old goalkeeper Luca Brugmans. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Merseyside club could sign the towering two-meter shot-stopper immediately if they part ways with Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is reportedly attracting significant interest from Nottingham Forest. Otherwise, the talented Belgian could make his move to Anfield in 2027.

Bayern Munich is also reportedly showing interest in Brugmans.

However, it seems unlikely that Liverpool would offload Mamardashvili at the very end of the summer transfer window. It's more probable that the Georgian, who was brought in with the intention of becoming Alisson's long-term successor, will remain. The Brazilian himself is now in the final year of his contract with the Reds, meaning he could depart next summer. The interest in Brugmans is likely more connected to this circumstance than to Mamardashvili's potential departure.

Brugmans made his senior debut for Genk in April this year and has already featured in 12 matches.
