Liverpool draw up shortlist of potential Alisson replacements
Liverpool have drawn up a shortlist of potential replacements for Alisson Becker this summer.
Alisson has been linked with leaving Liverpool this summer and has reportedly agreed personal terms with Juventus.
The Italian side have made the Brazil international their top target for the end of the season, while the ex-Roma goalkeeper is open to a return to Serie A after eight seasons at Anfield.
Liverpool are yet to make a decision on the 33-year-old’s future, though Alisson will have just 12 months on his deal in the summer.
Amid the uncertainty, the Reds are assessing potential replacements. Current deputy Giorgi Mamardashvili was signed last summer with a view to becoming the long-term number one and has made 18 appearances this season.
However, Liverpool have not ruled out the prospect of bringing in another established goalkeeper to compete with the Georgian.
According to ESPN, a trio of Premier League-based options are under consideration. Liverpool have shortlisted Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez as an experienced candidate, while Bournemouth’s Đorđe Petrović and Brighton’s are also admired.
