Liverpool are reportedly set to agree a transfer deal for talented young goalkeeper Armin Pecsi, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Reds look to be making significant progress on a deal to sign Pecsi, with the move expected to be a “here we go” soon, according to Romano’s post on X.

Pecsi will be joining for what is expected to be a club-record sale by Hungarian club Puskas Akademia.
Although the young shot-stopper surely won’t be challenging for the number one spot at Anfield any time soon, he looks a useful option for Arne Slot to have as a backup, or to occasionally use in cup games.
Liverpool making changes in goal as Armin Pecsi transfer close
This move for Pecsi comes not long after Liverpool sold Caoimhin Kelleher to Brentford, while there’ll be other changes in that position this summer.
Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to join up with LFC after a deal was agreed last year before he spent one final season with Valencia.
It will be interesting to see what these deals mean for the future of Alisson Becker, who has been the clear first choice for many years now under both Jurgen Klopp and since Slot’s arrival.
Even if Pecsi will likely be prepared to wait for his first-team chance, it’s hard to imagine Mamardashvili will be joining just to sit on the bench, but it also won’t be easy to get in to the team past an elite talent like Alisson.
Liverpool not messing about after title win
Liverpool have just won the Premier League and it looks like they’re determined to do it again next term.
We’ve already seen the champions move fast to sign Jeremie Frimpong to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, while CaughtOffside can confirm they are targeting Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez, as has been widely reported.
Liverpool also did well to tie star duo Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk down to new contracts.
