Reports Confirm Alisson Becker Expected to Stay at Liverpool
· Yahoo Sports
Liverpool appear a side either in the midst of major overhaul or complete chaos, depending on how you want to look at it. Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are gone, Curtis Jones and Ibrahima Konaté are soon expected to follow, and there are significant gaps all over the squad.
Add in that last summer’s major transfer spending spree left an a squad that had less depth and balance than what came before and that club management has signalled that they believe this played a role in how badly things went in 2025-26 and it’s worrying.

If too much turnover, too little quality depth, and new players struggling to adapt are why last season saw the Reds fail in their title defence before October, then all of those excuses look likely to count double once 2026-27 kicks off. But at least there will, it appears, be one unexpected bit of continuity.
Despite a widespread belief through the spring that goalkeeper Alisson Becker was likely to depart and plenty of talk this month of interest from clubs in Serie A including Juventus, the past week has seen a gather of stories suggesting that won’t actually be the case.
Now, club-connected journalists are confirming the chatter. Alisson will stay at Liverpool for the final year of his contract. With that, it also seems increasingly likely that Giorgi Mamardashvili, bought with the intention of replacing Alisson this summer, could be heading out on loan.
Mamardashvili was called on to replace Alisson over long stretches this season when Liverpool’s injury prone number one was sidelined, and the Georgian international failed to convince that he was ready to take the reigns full time with his on the ball skills a particular concern.
