Liverpool handed ‘huge’ Alisson boost
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is not expected to leave next summer despite Giorgi Mamadashvili’s impending arrival.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson revealed that it might take Liverpool’s new signing Giorgi Mamardashvili might take “a season to bed in,” while he is number two for a year to main man Alisson.
The 32-year-old has been the first-choice goalkeeper at Anfield since he joined the club in 2018, and he’s gone on to make 271 appearances and keep 119 clean sheets.
However, his future has been questioned after Arne Slot’s side signed Mamardashvili to join the club for next season.
Alisson Becker is not expected to leave Liverpool next summer
“Mamardashvili is more than capable of taking the gloves,” Robinson told Football Insider.
“It might take him a season to bed in, which is why I don’t think that Alisson will leave in the summer.
“Liverpool will be very, very shrewd to keep him on as not a mentor, but just to give Mamadashvili time to settle in.
“Give him an opportunity in cup games, play him in some European games as well, and get him used to being in that role of Liverpool’s number one goalkeeper. I expect Alisson to stay for another year, which is huge.”
