Liverpool could lose another leader as Alisson situation develops

Slot himself addressed the situation in a measured way, making it clear that multiple factors will influence any final decision.

“The people who make these decisions take everything into account,” said Slot.

“They try to make the best decisions with the interest of the club. It [experience] is definitely one argument to keep him but there are other arguments.

“That is a decision the club has to make if that is needed. In the end, he still has one year [on his contract].”

Liverpool weighing experience vs future planning

This feels like a delicate balancing act between retaining world-class quality and planning for the future, especially with Giorgi Mamardashvili already lined up as a long-term option.

The Brazilian shot-stopper has been linked with Juventus, and if a strong offer arrives, it’s suggested both parties could consider a respectful parting of ways.

That would mark another major shift in leadership at the club, following the confirmed exits of key figures and ongoing changes within the squad.

Alisson’s injury record is also part of the conversation, with the experienced goalkeeper missing a growing number of matches across the few seasons, even though his level remains among the very best in the world.

The key question is whether this is the right moment to transition, or whether keeping a proven match-winner for at least another year is the smarter move as we aim to build again under Slot.
