Giorgi Mamardashvili, Liverpool's new goalkeeper, has expressed great admiration for the club’s established No.1, Alisson Becker, calling him "one of the best goalkeepers in the world." The Georgian shot-stopper is excited about the opportunity to work with Alisson, learn from him, and embrace the challenge of competing for the starting spot at Liverpool. Mamardashvili sees joining Liverpool not just as a transfer, but as a dream come true, inspired by the legacies of past Liverpool goalkeepers such as Jerzy Dudek and Pepe Reina. He aims to write his own chapter in this prestigious goalkeeper legacy and is eager to give his best to help the team succeed.

Alisson, however, has made it clear that he has no plans to step aside any time soon. Despite turning 33 at the start of the upcoming season, the Brazilian remains in top form with an outstanding save percentage, especially highlighted during the 2024-25 Champions League. Alisson intends to stay at Liverpool until at least 2027, signaling his commitment to the club and underscoring the healthy competition for the goalkeeper position.

Mamardashvili's arrival follows a £29 million move confirmed last summer, after which he spent the previous season on loan at Valencia. While he had a mixed campaign, his performances improved notably in the latter half and his breakthrough display at Euro 2024 further showcased his talent. Both players now form a strong goalkeeping unit at Liverpool, blending experienced excellence with youthful ambition.

Alisson has also hinted at his eventual desire to return to his former Brazilian club Internacional to finish his career at a high level, though no immediate plans have been revealed. Liverpool's goalkeeping situation is therefore shaping up as a compelling blend of competition and learning opportunities that could benefit the squad in the coming seasons.
