Liverpool are set to sign Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili as the long-term successor to Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker. He will spend this season with Valencia and play at Anfield next season.
Accordingly, the club has made an investment for the future, although Irish goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is expected to leave the club.
Meanwhile, Czech goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros, who is third choice, is out of contract at the end of the season and is unlikely to remain at the club, where his second place is also at risk.
According to Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, Liverpool have expressed interest in 18-year-old goalkeeper Renato Marin from AS Roma, and could be in the market for him when his contract expires in June 2025.
In addition to the Reds, Juventus, Marseille and Inter Milan are also interested, and a battle may break out involving Roma, who are looking to extend his contract.
The young defender, who has already made his debut for Italy U-19s in 2024 and has already been on the pitch for 13 games, has yet to play for the first team. Although he is still learning by coming off the bench and observing the game up close, he continues to develop his reputation in the Roma Primavera.
As he was born in Sao Paulo, he would seem to have a good affinity with Liverpool, where the Brazilian national goalkeeper and the country’s goalkeeping coach are based. However, even if he joins on a free transfer, it will be difficult for him to suddenly sit in the third tier and he will first have to familiarise himself with England in the academy.
Will the 18-year-old Italian U-19 goalkeeper finish his contract with Roma and leave for England…?
