Pécsi’s professional career is still in its early stages, but he has shown significant potential as a goalkeeper. He has been a regular for Puskás Akadémia in the 2024/25 season, with notable performances in the Hungarian top flight. According to data from the 2024/25 season, he has prevented 6.5 goals, ranking him among the top goalkeepers in the league for save rate (72.44%) and total saves (91). His standout performances earned him a nomination for the Golden Boy award, a prestigious recognition for young football talents.
His career statistics, as reported by various sources, indicate limited but growing involvement in competitive matches. In the 2022/23 and 2021/22 seasons, he had minimal appearances for Puskás Akadémia in the NB I and OTP Bank Liga, with no recorded goals, assists, or cards, suggesting he was primarily a backup or developing player during those seasons. However, his role has expanded in the 2024/25 season, with a notable performance in a match against Nyíregyháza Spartacus, where he earned a 7.7 Sofascore rating in a 2-0 victory.
Pécsi has also been linked with Aqvital FC Csákvár, though it’s unclear if he played competitively for them or was only listed in potential lineups. His market value has been estimated between €300k and €800k (approximately ₹2.4 Cr), reflecting his rising profile.
In June 2025, posts on X reported that Liverpool FC is close to signing Pécsi from Puskás Akadémia, describing it as a record sale for the Hungarian club. These claims suggest that Pécsi has agreed to Liverpool’s project, with final club-to-club details pending.
Ármin Pécsi is a young, highly rated goalkeeper making strides in the Hungarian NB I with Puskás Akadémia. His strong performances in the 2024/25 season, including a high save rate and Golden Boy nomination, have put him on the radar of major clubs like Liverpool. While his career is still developing, with limited appearances in earlier seasons, his recent form suggests a bright future.
