Liverpool are keeping a watching brief on Genk goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans as the final stages of the transfer window bring uncertainty around Giorgi Mamardashvili's future, with Echo reporting that Nottingham Forest are weighing up a move for the Georgia international.
Brughmans, who turned 18 in June, has quickly emerged as one of the more highly regarded young goalkeepers in Europe. Liverpool's interest is understood to sit at monitoring stage for now, rather than anything more advanced before Tuesday's 11pm deadline. That position reflects both the competitive market around the player and the fact that any immediate movement may depend on developments involving Mamardashvili.

Within Liverpool's recruitment structure, Brughmans has been identified by the club's Global Talent department, led by Matt Newberry, as a goalkeeper of significant long-term promise. He has already made four senior appearances for Genk and has represented Belgium at Under-19 level, factors that have helped elevate his profile among top European clubs.
There is further competition too, with Real Madrid among those credited with interest. That naturally makes any future pursuit more complex, and there is no indication at this stage that Liverpool are preparing a late push before the deadline passes.
