Liverpool’s goalkeeping department is extremely healthy, with third-choice Vitaslav Jaros also displaying his prowess when given a full debut in a 3-2 win over Brighton in the Carabao Cup. Yet next season will be somewhat intriguing as to what happens.
Kelleher has stated on several occasions he wants to play week in, week out. His recent performances have underlined he could be a No.1 for any team in Europe. The Republic of Ireland international will have a year left on his contract and a sale for both parties may suit.
Alisson will have two years remaining on his Anfield contract but will face new competition from Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Reds agreed to sign the Georgia international from Valencia for a fee of up to £29 million last August. However, part of the terms was that he would stay with the Spanish side for the remainder of this season to continue his development.
Mamardashvili is a key player for Valencia, who find themselves in a relegation battle. They are 19th in La Liga after a 1-0 defeat by Rayo Vallecano last weekend. It appears that Mamardashvili will be crucial if Los Ches are to secure . But Valencia are now sweating on the 24-year-old’s fitness. Mamardashvili has suffered a thigh issue. According to Relevo, the keeper has had a scan ‘is in pain’ and it is not clear whether he will be available to face Valladolid on Friday night.
While Mamardashvili will officially not become a Liverpool player until July, it’s likely that the club will be keeping close track of his setback.
