I’m sure he would have expected to play more than he has but I think he’ll be patient and remain waiting for his chance.“There’s no better player to learn under right now if he’s continuing to develop working alongside Alisson as well. “I’m sure there are clubs keeping tabs on the situation because he is so highly regarded.
There’s clubs in Spain, I’m sure there are clubs across Europe who would love the chance to sign a really established goalkeeper like Marmadashvili.”Andy Robertson looks set to leave Liverpool but Celtic move is in doubtAnother player who could leave Anfield this summer is legendary left-back Robertson, with his contract set to expire and talks currently planned for the end of season.He has started just six Premier League games so far this term behind Milos Kerkez, and his boyhood club, Celtic, are interested in making him theirs on a free transfer.Despite their interest, sources have told Football Insider that Robertson has his doubts about joining Celtic as he may want to continue playing in the Premier League.Tottenham wanted to sign him in January but failed in a late move, while other European clubs are believed to be keeping tabs if he does decide to leave Liverpool. 🔴 Don’t Miss a Beat: Your Liverpool Insider Access Get the full story from Anfield and the AXA Training Centre with our dedicated expert hubs: Updated 24/7 with expert analysis from the heart of Merseyside.
