Liverpool could potentially sell Alisson Becker as part of their goalkeeping overhaul, having already signed Giorgi Mamardashvili.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool could think about selling Alisson Becker next summer, with Saudi Arabia’s interest still high for the goalkeeper. The Merseyside could conduct a potential overhaul of the position, as they have already signed Giorgi Mamardashvili, who could be the viable replacement for the Brazilian.
Alisson Becker to leave Liverpool?
Liverpool ensured they had one of the quietest summer transfer windows in many years and did not sign some players needed in important positions. For instance, they saw Martin Zubimendi reject a move, and after that, the club did not follow up on an alternative midfield target. They ended up signing Federico Chiesa in a cheap deal while finding an agreement with Valencia for Giorgi Mamardashvili.
The agreement for the Georgian keeper did raise eyebrows, considering how heavily Alisson Becker had been linked with Saudi Arabian sides. Al-Nassr held an interest in him as well as Brazilian colleague Ederson Moraes, as they ended up signing neither of those keepers in the summer.
Liverpool could see the Saudi interest as another opportunity to overhaul their goalkeeping position, with the Saudi Pro League clubs likely to return with fresh approaches next summer. With a contract left at Anfield until 2027, Liverpool could seek a hefty transfer fee in exchange.
Moreover, they already have signed Mamardashvili, who will spend the current season on loan with Valencia. As for Alisson, he could potentially leave the club for a big offer, although he has given no signs of slowing down and has been instrumental in the club’s era of success under Jurgen Klopp, winning the Premier League and Champions League in the process.
Is the goalkeeping overhaul the right decision?
Alisson remains a formidable figure between the sticks and a big part of their otherwise tight defensive setup. Hence, it would be a bit surprising if he is sold, although he’s part of the list alongside Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk to potentially leave the side next summer.
The idea of a goalkeeping overhaul does seem a bit strange, although if the 31-year-old key star fetches a considerable fee, Liverpool could use that money to build their squad. As for Mamardashvili, he seems like a solid acquisition for the club, keeping the future in mind, as in time, the Georgian could prove his worth as the Brazilian’s worthy successor.
