Liverpool have opened official club-to-club talks with Genk to sign 6ft 7in goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans, according to Fabrizio Romano and Sacha Tavolieri, as Nottingham Forest target a move for Reds keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili according to Matteo Moretto.
Liverpool Open Talks for Genk Goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans
Liverpool have made official contact with Belgian side Genk regarding the transfer of 6ft 7in goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans. According to Fabrizio Romano, the club is actively assessing whether to complete a deal for Brughmans immediately should Giorgi Mamardashvili complete a move to Nottingham Forest, or arrange for the towering shot-stopper to arrive later in 2027. The negotiations follow initial reports from journalist Sacha Tavolieri regarding the club’s interest in bolstering their keeping department.
Cody Gakpo Ready for Manchester City Transfer
In attacking outgoings, forward Cody Gakpo is reportedly ready to finalize a move to Manchester City. While TEAMtalk notes the player had previously agreed personal terms with Tottenham, the serial Premier League champions have now opened talks with Liverpool for the Dutchman. Sources indicate Gakpo hopes to complete the transfer before the window closes, preferring the challenge of battling for a regular starting spot at the Etihad Stadium.
Winger Targets: Jamie Leweling and Ismaila Sarr
To offset potential attacking departures, Liverpool continue to eye wide reinforcements alongside an agreement already in place for Bradley Barcola. The Telegraph reports that Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling has attracted enquiries from Anfield, though Roma are also closely monitoring the German attacker. Meanwhile, Ismaila Sarr remains an option for the Reds following failed bids for Yankuba Minteh, after Brighton rejected prior approaches from Merseyside.
Pro Tip: Transfer Window Strategy
Clubs often balance late-window outgoings—such as potential moves for established forwards—with simultaneous youth and depth acquisitions to maintain squad equilibrium without inflating wage bills.
