Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili are currently vying to be Liverpool’s number one goalkeeper, but there could be changes in the summer.After a deal was first agreed in the summer of 2024, Mamardashvili eventually arrived at Anfield ahead of the 2025/26 campaign getting underway.The shot-stopper was described as ‘outstanding’ following his debut for the Reds against Southampton in the Carabao Cup. Who was the better Liverpool goalkeeper – prime Alisson or prime Pepe Reina?

However, despite his early promise and reputation, he has continued to play second-fiddle to Alisson for much of the current campaign.Giorgi Mamardashvili eyeing loan move, Alisson’s contract ends in 2026 not 2027In turn, it now looks as though there could be changes within the Liverpool goalkeeper ranks this summer.Graeme Bailey of TeamTalk provided an update on the Reds’ two main shot-stoppers this week.He confirmed that while some outlets suggest the Brazilian is under contract until 2027, his current deal will actually expire in 2026.However, Liverpool do have an option to extend that contract by a further 12 months, which they are expected to take up.This may, however, then lead to Mamardashvili departing Liverpool during the 2026 summer transfer window.
