Liverpool reportedly intervened to stop Lucca Brughmans from moving to Real Madrid, where he was wanted as the future Thibaut Courtois. Now, he is the future Alisson Becker.

Liverpool signed Brughmans from Genk in the summer, paying £30m and loaning him back to the Belgian side before he makes the move to Anfield to replace Alisson next summer. By Monday morning, he was on a jet to Merseyside.” Standing at 6 ft 7, he is a giant among men, but his shot-stopping doesn’t suffer for it either, which is likely why Madrid wanted him as Courtois’ replacement, who is also 6 ft 7.

Giorgi Mamardashvili is a touch shorter at 6 ft 6, and he will need to take every chance he gets to prove he is good enough for Liverpool. While Brughmans’ move to Liverpool will only formally happen in the summer of 2027, he will be in close contact with the Reds the whole season, which will aid his transition to life on Merseyside.
