Liverpool Face Huge Goalkeeper Decision Over Mamardashvili
Liverpool could face a major goalkeeper decision next summer, with Giorgi Mamardashvili reportedly unwilling to remain a long-term backup if Alisson Becker extends his stay at Anfield.
Mamardashvili joined Liverpool to compete for the No.1 position, but Alisson has remained the club’s established first choice.
That situation could eventually become difficult for the Georgian international.
Reports suggest Liverpool have not yet started talks with Alisson over a new contract, with his current deal running towards its final year.
If the Brazilian goalkeeper decides to continue at Anfield, Mamardashvili could reassess his own future.
The 25-year-old has already made appearances for Liverpool and showed his quality during the club’s recent Carabao Cup campaign.
However, regular football remains important for a goalkeeper entering the prime years of his career.
Liverpool also have several younger goalkeeping options developing within their system. That could make the club’s long-term planning even more complicated.
A decision over Alisson’s future could therefore have a direct impact on Mamardashvili.
Liverpool may eventually have to choose between keeping an elite veteran goalkeeper and giving their expensive Georgian signing a clearer pathway to regular football.
For now, nothing has been decided.
But if Alisson signs a new deal, the pressure on Liverpool to find a solution for Mamardashvili could become impossible to ignore.
