Alisson's successor on the horizon? Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is scheduled for a Liverpool medical as the Reds finalize a deal with Valencia for a 2025 transfer. Liverpool are advancing with a move to secure the goalkeeper who could step in for Alisson by arranging a medical for Giorgi Mamardashvili. Arrangements have been made for Mamardashvili to undergo a medical now that a deal valued up to 35 million euros, including bonuses, has been settled with Valencia. However, the plan is still for the Georgian to remain with his current team for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. Alisson is not being replaced immediately, but Mamardashvili is expected to transition from Spain next summer and "contend for a position." Although it's possible they could co-exist for a year or two, Alisson will be nearly 33 by the start of the next season and is beginning to enter the latter stages of his career. For what it’s worth, Brazil's No.1 has indicated he has no intention of stepping aside just yet. This move is likely to signal the end of Caoimhin Kelleher's tenure at Anfield, clearly showing the Irishman that he won't be Liverpool's top choice goalkeeper even after Alisson. The homegrown keeper will have one year remaining on his contract by the end of this season and is likely to seek a move for more playing opportunities. With Mamardashvili staying at Valencia for the moment, there is no urgency to finalize anything before the swiftly approaching summer transfer deadline. If Liverpool fans want to see him in action, Valencia will play twice more in La Liga before the September international break—against Athletic Club and Villarreal on August 28 and 31, respectively.
