  Liverpool have confirmed the signature of the 20-year-old keeper from the Hungarian top-flight side, without stating how long the contract is. He is the Reds' second summer signing after recruiting Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen last month.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Liverpool are trying to sign Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, among others, but now they have strengthened in between the sticks. According to Fabrizio Romano, Pecsi is part of a 'long-term' project, and this is a 'record' sale for Akademia.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Pecsi moves to Liverpool after a successful season with Akademia, where he featured 30 times and led them to a second-placed finish in the league. He is also a nominee for the prestigious 2025 Golden Boy award.

  WHAT NEXT?

  Pecsi is unlikely to go straight into Liverpool's first-team but will have long-term desires of getting ahead of fellow stoppers Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili in the Reds' goal.
