Alisson, Kelleher or Mamardashvili?

Liverpool currently boast three top-quality goalkeepers: Alisson Becker, Caoimhin Kelleher, and Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is set to join from Valencia next summer.

While competition in key positions is normal, managing this trio poses a unique challenge.

Reports via (TBR Football) suggest that Liverpool are open to offers for both Alisson and Kelleher.

Alisson, the club's undisputed number one since 2018, has been integral to Liverpool’s success. However, recurring injuries and rumored interest from the Saudi Pro League have sparked speculation about his future. 

Liverpool reportedly believe his global reputation could attract offers covering the £30 million spent on Mamardashvili. Meanwhile, Kelleher, the current deputy, has openly stated his desire for regular first-team football.

With his contract ending a year earlier than Alisson’s deal in 2027, Liverpool may feel this is the right time to cash in on the Republic of Ireland international.

What if Alisson leaves?

If Alisson leaves, Kelleher could have a chance to fight for the number one spot. However, Liverpool’s investment in Mamardashvili suggests they see the Georgian as a long-term solution.

Despite his strong performances in 55 appearances for Liverpool, Kelleher is still expected to push for an exit to secure a regular starting role.

Slot’s decision could reshape Liverpool’s goalkeeping hierarchy, and fans will eagerly watch how this unfolds in the coming months.
