Liverpool operates differently from other Premier League clubs by prioritizing strategic transfers at smart prices and maintaining a forward-looking approach rather than focusing solely on immediate success.
This approach has facilitated a smooth transition from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot. Klopp revamped the squad last season, setting it up for Slot to advance further.
A notable future-oriented move Liverpool made this summer is signing Giorgi Mamardashvili, the Valencia goalkeeper. He will join Liverpool next summer after the current season ends.
The acquisition of one of the world’s top young goalkeepers raises questions about the future of Alisson Becker, who earns £225,000 a week and has been Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper for an extended period. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool is prepared to consider a good offer for Alisson’s transfer next summer, with a preferred outcome being a move to a Saudi Pro League club.
At 31, Alisson still has several years of top-level football ahead and may opt to stay with Liverpool for another season. Should he remain, Liverpool could either integrate Mamardashvili gradually or loan him out.
Mamardashvili represents the future for Liverpool. With additional experience, he may eventually succeed Alisson as the club’s primary goalkeeper. How Liverpool plans to manage the two goalkeepers will be interesting to watch.
