Liverpool have signed goalkeeper Armin Pecsi from Hungarian side Puskas Akademia. The 20-year-old has joined the Reds for \u00a31.5million<\/a> after completing a medical and signing his contract on Saturday.<\/p>\n Pecsi is expected to join Liverpool<\/a>\u2019s under-21s, although he will get the chance to train with first-team goalkeeper Alisson Becker<\/a> and new signing Giorgi Mamardashvili. He joins the club after Caoimhin Kelleher left Liverpool<\/a> to become Brentford\u2019s first-choice keeper for \u00a318m.<\/p>\n Although young, Pecsi has plenty of experience, having made 52 appearances in all competitions for Puskas Akademia, keeping 15 clean sheets. He made 30 appearances across the 2024\/25 season, helping the club finish second in the Hungarian top flight.<\/p>\n He has also clocked up five appearances for the Hungary under-21 side and was nominated for the prestigious 2025 Golden Boy award. The youngster is the second Hungarian in the Liverpool squad, alongside Dominik Szoboszlai, although that number could become three, with the club pushing to sign Bournemouth<\/a> left-back Milos Kerkez.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Conor Bradley’s ‘that’s me done here’ admission says a lot after Liverpool transfer exit<\/a>READ MORE: Transfer news LIVE: Liverpool’s Wirtz timeline, Man Utd’s new offer, Bellingham price set, Arsenal latest<\/a><\/p>\n Kerkez has left the Hungary camp<\/a> ahead of a match against Azerbaijan due to \u2018private reasons\u2019. Those are understood to be connected to a pending move from Bournemouth to Liverpool, with all parties wanting to avoid any injuries in the closing stages of negotiations.<\/p>\n Pecsi is the second signing of the summer transfer window, following Jeremie Frimpong in joining the club<\/a>. Frimpong has signed a five-year deal with Liverpool after the club paid Bayer Leverkusen \u00a329.5m for his services in the wake of Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> leaving for Real Madrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mamardashvili, meanwhile, was officially signed last summer, but was immediately loaned back to Valencia for the 2024\/25 campaign. He will now join up with Arne Slot<\/a>\u2019s squad, effectively taking Kelleher\u2019s place as the second-choice keeper behind Alisson.<\/p>\n HAVE YOUR SAY! Who will be the most important summer signing for Liverpool? Comment below<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Liverpool also remain in talks with Leverkusen over a potential British-record deal for Florian Wirtz, having offered \u00a3113m for the playmaker. That bid, made up of \u00a3100m upfront with around \u00a313m in bonuses, is still short of Leverkusen\u2019s asking price of \u00a3126.4m (\u20ac150m).<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Liverpool have released seven players<\/a>. Dominic Corness, Louis Enahoro-Marcus, Harry Evers, Lee Jonas, Jakub Ojrzynski, Jacob Poytress and Reece Trueman, none of whom had played for the first team, have all departed the new Premier League<\/a> champions and will search for new clubs.<\/p>\n Further departures are expected, with Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott, Andy Robertson and Federico Chiesa among those who could leave. Chiesa only joined Liverpool last summer from Juventus<\/a> for \u00a310m, but he has struggled for game time under Slot and wants to leave<\/a>.<\/p>\n He told Corriere dello Sport<\/a>: “At the beginning I felt the frustration of the radical change and of being far behind the group, then there was the injury. Could I start to discuss the choices of Slot who has always been very respectful towards me, as well as the club? The desire to play was there, I put it aside, I understood the situation.”<\/p>\n Join our new WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
