Liverpool may have already seen the last of Alisson Becker in a Reds shirt. The Brazilian has been the undisputed No. 1 since his arrival in 2018, but persistent injury issues have kept him sidelined for much of the latter part of the season. After picking up an injury in March, Alisson has missed Liverpool's last six Premier League matches and could be absent for the remaining two as well.
Reports are heating up that Juventus is growing increasingly confident about securing a deal for the goalkeeper this summer. If that happens, Liverpool will need to find a new first-choice shot-stopper—and it looks like they may have already identified their man.
According to reliable transfer insider Ben Jacobs, that man is Giorgi Mamardashvili. In a post on X, Jacobs confirmed that the Georgian international will be given the opportunity to take over as Liverpool's No. 1 if Alisson departs. The club's hierarchy reportedly still views the 25-year-old as their long-term solution between the posts.
Mamardashvili joined Liverpool in the summer and has been waiting for his chance. With Alisson's potential exit, that moment could finally arrive. It's a move that would bring familiarity to the backline—Mamardashvili has already been training with the squad and knows the system.
Of course, Arne Slot's side will still need to add another goalkeeper to the roster. Freddie Woodman's deal is winding down, and a suitable backup will be required. However, Liverpool may look to their academy for a solution, with highly-rated prospect Arman Pesci potentially stepping up if the club wants to avoid another big-money signing.
If Mamardashvili is indeed the chosen successor, sporting director Richard Hughes and the Liverpool hierarchy can cross one major item off their summer to-do list. For fans, it's a reminder that while losing a world-class keeper like Alisson is never easy, the future between the sticks at Anfield might already be in safe hands.
