Giorgi Mamardashvili is prepared to depart Liverpool on loan this summer should Alisson Becker remain at the club, according to transfer journalist Nicolo Schira. The Georgian goalkeeper, recruited as a long-term successor to the Brazilian international, wants regular first-team football and views a temporary exit as the solution if his pathway to the starting XI remains blocked.
Alisson's Juventus Frustration and Liverpool's U-Turn
Liverpool's goalkeeper situation has become increasingly complex heading into the 2025-26 campaign. Alisson, who spent the season as the Reds' number one before injury, has been heavily linked with a move to Serie A champions Juventus. The Italian club tabled an attractive long-term proposal, but Liverpool initially resisted his departure. However, sources close to the situation reveal that Alisson is now frustrated at being denied the move, prompting him to seek direct conversations with the club's hierarchy to discuss his long-term future. The 32-year-old goalkeeper wants clarity on whether Liverpool intend to match Juventus's offer or allow him to depart.
While manager Arne Slot and the board are open to discussing a new extension, there is currently reluctance to commit to the type of lengthy, lucrative deal Juventus has already placed before the Brazilian. This impasse has created tension within Alisson's camp, with negotiations at a delicate stage as the summer window approaches.
Elliott's Leeds Move Gets Green Light
In parallel developments, Harvey Elliott is another high-profile name potentially heading for the exit. The 23-year-old's unsuccessful loan spell at Aston Villa has convinced Liverpool that he has no future at Anfield. With his contract expiring next year, the club views this summer as their final opportunity to generate revenue from the midfielder. Elliott is keen on a permanent move to Leeds United, and Slot has signalled his willingness to allow the transfer to progress.
The departures of Alisson, Mamardashvili, and Elliott would represent significant turnover in Liverpool's squad as they prepare for another Premier League title challenge. How Slot addresses these exits in the transfer market will be crucial to maintaining the squad's competitive edge next season.
