Liverpool are reportedly on the verge of sealing a deal to sign 20-year-old Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi from Puskas Akademia.
This transfer is set to become a record sale for the Hungarian club, highlighting the significant fee Liverpool is prepared to pay for the promising shot-stopper.
Pecsi has already given his “yes” to the Liverpool project, with all personal terms on the player’s side now finalized.
This means the Hungarian international is keen to make the move to Anfield and embark on the next chapter of his career in the Premier League.
Final details between the two clubs are now being ironed out, and an official announcement is expected very soon, indicating a “here we go” confirmation is imminent.
Pecsi, who stands at 1.90m (6’3″), has been a standout performer for Puskas Akademia, featuring in 35 appearances in the 2024/25 season, including Europa Conference League qualifiers, where he kept 9 clean sheets in the NB I league.
His impressive performances, particularly for his age, have drawn the attention of Liverpool, who are strategically planning for the future of their goalkeeping department.
While the exact fee has not been disclosed, sources suggest it will surpass Puskas Akademia’s previous record sale of Roland Sallai to APOEL in 2017, which was €2 million.
This move for Pecsi is another example of Liverpool’s proactive approach in the transfer market, securing young talent for long-term development.
With Milos Kerkez also reportedly close to joining, it’s shaping up to be a busy summer for the Reds in terms of defensive reinforcements.
