Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Giorgi Mamardashvili as a potential replacement for Alisson Becker this summer.
According to Radio Marca, Liverpool are apparently considering a shock move for Giorgi Mamardashvili as a potential replacement for Alisson Becker. The Brazilian international could leave, going by the story’s suggestion, as the Valencia main could be a big replacement they might consider.
Giorgi Mamardashvili to replace Alisson Becker?
Alisson Becker is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and rightly so. He has been an immense presence for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp. Early suggestions were that the goalkeeper was part of the small but influential group looking to leave the club, although nothing seems to be clear on the stopper’s stance.
He reportedly rejected a move to Al-Nassr and appeared to be content with life at Merseyside, which will undoubtedly please Liverpool supporters. The club also stated that they are not keen on selling the Brazilian, who, in theory, might fetch a hefty sum should a move to Saudi Arabia materialise.
While the rumours of a possible exit had gone quiet for a while, Liverpool are now linked with a move for Georgian hero Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Valencia stopper is reportedly seen as a viable replacement for Alisson, which could spark further speculation about the Brazilian’s immediate future at Anfield.
If Alisson leaves Liverpool, there are hardly any better keepers than Mamardashvili to fulfil that role. He has a big future ahead of him and could be seen as a big investment by Liverpool, as they did with Alisson many years ago. Whether this story has any further legs remains to be seen, but it’s an interesting choice for a replacement.
Newcastle United also keen on Mamardashvili
Should Liverpool enter the race for Mamardashvili, Newcastle United might feel threatened by the prospect of losing one of their top targets. The Magpies have been linked with a move for the Valencia stopper and might pull some strings in their quest to sign the 23-year-old Georgian.
The issue might be the money involved in a deal to bring the keeper, as Valencia are demanding quite a high fee to sell the 23-year-old. Should Liverpool manage to sell Alisson, they will indeed have the funds to re-invest in a new keeper, and Mamardashvili might make total sense.
