Breaking: Liverpool signs Hungarian goalkeeper in club record deal

Premier League giants Liverpool FC have officially signed Hungarian goalkeeper Ármin Pécsi from Puskás Akadémia, the Hungarian club announced this week. The 20-year-old talent joins the English champions after completing his medical and signing his contract with the Reds.

According to Puskás Akadémia, the transfer fee paid by Liverpool represents a club record for the Hungarian side, though the exact amount was not disclosed.

“This club raised me, here I became a top-flight footballer and a professional player,” Pécsi said in an emotional farewell message. “I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who helped me during my academy years—especially my goalkeeper coaches and former trainers. I’m taking only good memories with me from both the youth and senior teams. This opportunity was simply too big to pass up.”
