ALISSON ADDRESSES LIVERPOOL FUTURE WITH INCOMING GIORGI MAMARDASHVILI ARRIVAL

Liverpool’s iconic goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, has finally broken his silence on his Anfield future amid growing speculation and the imminent arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili, the highly-rated Georgian shot-stopper. After seven stellar years on Merseyside, Alisson remains calm, confident, and focused—but his recent comments have opened a new chapter in the club’s goalkeeping narrative.

At 31, Alisson is still considered one of the finest goalkeepers in world football. A two-time Premier League champion, Champions League winner, and a key figure in Jurgen Klopp’s legacy at Liverpool, the Brazilian has been a symbol of consistency and excellence. But with new managerial shifts under Arne Slot and a fresh rebuild taking shape, the goalkeeper situation is suddenly drawing a lot of attention.

Alisson’s current contract runs until 2026, with the club holding an option to extend it for one additional year. During a recent interview, the Brazilian addressed his future with measured words and a composed tone that reflects his years of experience at the highest level.

“I have one year of contract left and one more year on a club option,” Alisson revealed.
“They will probably exercise this option.”

These words may not be a direct commitment to retirement at Anfield, but they signal stability and mutual respect between player and club. In a summer full of uncertainties, that reassurance will be welcomed by fans.

Yet, the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili changes the dynamics. The 23-year-old has developed a growing reputation in La Liga, and Liverpool’s move for the Valencia goalkeeper is a clear sign that they are preparing for the future—possibly even beyond Alisson.

The Brazilian shot-stopper, however, isn’t fazed. He understands the stakes and remains grounded in his role.

“I think about what I have in hand, to do a great job,” he said.
“It’s a decisive moment in my career, when a World Cup is coming.”

These comments underscore that Alisson isn’t just playing for club honors—he’s already eyeing the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Brazil will look to reclaim global dominance. He knows that consistent club performances will be vital for his role in the national team.

Mamardashvili’s arrival is not just about succession. It could also provide Liverpool with much-needed squad depth, ensuring healthy competition in a position that demands perfection. With European competitions, domestic cups, and the Premier League grind, having two elite goalkeepers might be a luxury—but it’s a necessary one for a club with Liverpool’s ambitions.

From a tactical standpoint, Alisson’s strength lies in distribution, aerial dominance, and commanding his box—qualities that have saved Liverpool countless times. Mamardashvili, on the other hand, is known for his reflexes and shot-stopping, and while he may still be raw compared to Alisson, he possesses huge upside.

There’s also the question of succession planning. With Alisson approaching his mid-30s, Liverpool’s scouting department is clearly planning long-term, and securing Mamardashvili is part of that vision. It would be premature to suggest Alisson is being replaced—but competition at the top level often drives both players to perform at their peak.

Off the pitch, Alisson has been a leader—calm, spiritual, and composed. His influence on younger players, including goalkeepers like Caoimhín Kelleher, has been vital. The arrival of Mamardashvili could even signal a future mentorship role for Alisson, should he choose to extend his stay and gradually transition into a guiding presence.

However, football is unpredictable. Should a major European or Saudi club come calling, the club may have to make a decision that balances loyalty, finance, and the long-term project. For now, though, Alisson seems fully committed to the Liverpool badge.

For fans, the takeaway is clear: Alisson isn’t done yet. He remains a pillar of this squad and has unfinished business both at Anfield and on the global stage.

And with Arne Slot beginning his new era at Liverpool, having a stable and world-class figure like Alisson guarding the goal will be invaluable—especially during a period of tactical transitions and new signings.

While Mamardashvili may represent the future, Alisson Becker is still very much the present.
