Liverpool fans have been getting to know all about Lucca Brughmans after the Reds moved ahead with an out-of-the-blue £30m deal for the 18-year-old on Monday.Reinforcing the goalkeeping department had not been top of any supporters’ list going into the final two days of the transfer window, but Liverpool have made their move nonetheless.For now, it looks as though Brughmans will link up with the Reds in 2027, which makes it likely that we’ll have another year of Alisson Becker as the first-choice and Giorgi Mamardashvili as his back-up. Fans think Mamardashvili should be soldIt was interesting that Brughmans was initially first linked as part of a story suggesting that Mamardashvili could leave and join Nottingham Forest before Tuesday’s deadline.It remains to be seen whether or not that happens, and it would seem like a gamble for Liverpool to rely on an 18-year-old and Freddie Woodman to fill in if Alisson gets injured, but it is not significant that the Reds are paying so heavily to sign a young keeper either way.As far as fans on RTK’s Facebook and X pages are concerned, it should mean that Mamardashvili moves on, either now or in 2027.READ MORE: Giorgi Mamardashvili’s Liverpool career seems to be over even if he does not leave on deadline day“Alisson is way past his best, even so he is still way better that Mamardashvili, who hasn’t shown the quality necessary to take the keeper’s jersey,” one fan said.



Won’t be surprised if he leaves.”“Let him go 100% and bring back Kelleher,” another fan chimed in.“[He’s] not getting ahead of AB1,” was another view. He’s unhappy with the game time as well and will look good at mid table clubs.”“Can’t use his feet, decent shot stopper at best and doesn’t command his area, and seems to be sulking that he’s a backup.

Terrible buy, right decision to move him on,” someone else agreed, with fans almost unanimous in their view that Mamardashvili should go.There was a lone voice of support for the 25-year-old, though, with one fan claiming that he deserves more time as back-up to the injury-prone Alisson.“He hasn’t had a fair crack of the whip I don’t think,” they said. “Yes, he knows his footwork needs to improve but Alisson will have spells out as usual and can’t rely on a 18yr kid.”How Liverpool truly feel about Mamardashvili will become clear before the deadline passes.
