Liverpool’s goalkeeping situation is suddenly throwing up all sorts of questions, with Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili both pressing matters to discuss.Alisson has been one of Liverpool’s most important players for years, but Juventus are now said to be in talks with the Brazilian, who is open to the move. That does not mean an exit is certain, and it certainly does not mean Alisson is pushing to leave Anfield.But if the 33-year-old does move on this summer, Liverpool’s plan already appears to be clear.

Who should advance into the semi-final as Liverpool’s Player of the Year? Ryan Gravenberch or Mohamed Salah? 🤔 Photo Credit: Getty Images/Justin Setterfield/Alex Livesey/Danehouse Liverpool are decided on Giorgi Mamardashvili if Alisson leavesWe know the ball is still in Liverpool’s court with Alisson.The Brazil international is heading into the final year of his contract, but he has an excellent relationship with the club and is not expected to force the issue.Ben Jacobs has now gone into more detail about the current situation on X, reporting that Juventus are in talks with Alisson and that the goalkeeper is open to joining them.

We knew that already.The new information is that, should Alisson leave, Mamardashvili ‘will be given the chance’ to become Liverpool’s No.1 next season. He has not always looked totally convincing, and stepping into Alisson’s role would be one of the biggest challenges any goalkeeper in Europe could face.But Liverpool still view him as the long-term future of the position.
