Nottingham Forest are considering a late transfer window move for Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, according to recent reports. The Georgian international has attracted the attention of Forest’s recruitment team as they seek to strengthen their goalkeeping options before the deadline. Mamardashvili joined Liverpool from Valencia last summer in a £29 million deal and made 20 appearances during the previous campaign, including coverage during Alisson Becker’s injury absence.
The potential transfer pursuit has prompted Liverpool to explore alternatives, with the club establishing contact regarding Genk’s young prospect Lucca Brughmans. The 18-year-old Belgian goalkeeper has impressed with four senior appearances for his club and represents Belgium at under-19 level. Liverpool’s Global Talent department has identified Brughmans as a prospect with significant potential, though the club’s current interest remains at a monitoring stage rather than an advanced position ahead of the window closure.
Competition for Brughmans is intense, with Real Madrid among Europe’s top clubs monitoring his development. Liverpool’s recruitment strategy has increasingly focused on identifying talent at youth level, similar to recent signings Mor Talla Ndiaye and Ifeanyi Ndukwe. The situation surrounding Mamardashvili’s future remains central to Liverpool’s planning, as any departure could necessitate reinforcing their goalkeeping succession arrangements beyond third-choice Freddie Woodman.
