Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker joined Liverpool from AS Roma in the summer of 2018 and has saved many a pinch as a defender during Jurgen Klopp’s regime.
He remains an absolute stopper, but there is uncertainty over whether he will play until June 2027, when his contract expires.
Second-choice goalkeeper, Irish goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, is also constantly surrounded by rumours of an exit and is said to be hoping for an environment where he can play in the starting line-up every week.
At 25 years of age and approaching the midway point of his career, it is not surprising that he has approached clubs about a move.
They are looking to Valencia’s Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to fill their void. According to Fabrizio Romano, it is up to Liverpool to say whether the transfer will work or not.
“I can confirm the story. Liverpool have the possibility to sign Mamardashvili and send him on loan.”
“So Liverpool have been presented this possibility. Mamardashvil is looking in case there will be some opportunity in the final weeks of the market, and Liverpool have the opportunity to go from Mamardashvili, sign him now and then loan him out.”
“Liverpool basically are aware of the opportunity. Liverpool spoke to people in charge of the deal. Liverpool are informed of every detail of this story for Mamardashvili. Now it’s on Liverpool.”
“They have to decide internally whether they want to pay something around 30 million euros for Mamardashvili, loan him out and consider him the potential future goalkeeper for Liverpool after Alisson, or if they want to leave this opportunity and continue with the goalkeepers they have.”
“But Liverpool have this opportunity on the table, so it’s basically on Liverpool to decide on.”
