Alisson Becker has open up about Liverpool’s attempts to sign fellow goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

It has been widely reported that the Reds are closing in on a £30million move for Valencia's Mamardashvili.

The 23-year-old, who played four games for Georgia at Euro 2024 before they were knocked out by eventual winners Spain in the last-16, is set to be signed as back up, with Alisson remaining Liverpool’s No.1.

Indeed, Alisson revealed that the club informed him of their desire to sign the 6ft6ins stopper before such efforts became public.

Speaking to the Times, Alisson said: “The club needs to prepare for the future.

“We are not going to last forever here, I am getting old! No, for a goalkeeper I am still young, I have a lot of energy and I still have much to give for this club and I want to give to the club as much as I can.

“They will do it for different positions as well. We have so many important players with the contract expiring and the club needs to organise themselves for the future.

“I think it was a good idea. I knew about that [Mamardashvili] before it came out on social media and that is a good message for me because the club cares about what I think.

“They are doing the right thing but, on my side, as long as I have my contract here and as long as I am happy here, the club is happy with me, my family is happy here, [so] I will stay.”

In the same interview Alisson heaped praise on the Reds’ new manager Arne Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp over the summer.

“His way of playing is the way I like to play, starting build-up, not only kicking long balls,” Alisson said. “If the manager prepares the team for that, it’s the best thing, because everyone wants the ball, everybody wants to play and everybody shows themselves to get the ball so I have a lot of options on the pitch to play the pass.

“I don’t only have one option. It’s not that he says, ‘Just play short passes, you cannot kick long balls.’ He is open to everything and understands that in football sometimes you are going to use long balls.

“We train it. Myself, Virgil [van Dijk], we have quick players up front. If we can create spaces starting from goal kicks or deep positions then that is also good for us.

“The first contact is really important. It does not define the relationship for the year or the years, but it was really important to see how clear he is in his ideas and see how cool he is as a person as well.

“He is a really nice person, a family guy, a family man with a lot of conviction in his ideas of what he wants from the players and the team and what he wants to achieve. His goals are for greatness, great things at the club. The same as mine.”
