Liverpool considers goalkeeper succession plan as Alisson linked with exit
Summary

Liverpool is facing questions about the future of goalkeeper Alisson Becker, amid speculation linking him to a move away from the club this summer. Former goalkeeper Brad Friedel suggests Liverpool should consider a successor capable of handling the pressure that comes with the role. Alisson, who has been crucial for Liverpool, is contracted until June 2027, but his recent injury issues have led to discussions about potential replacements. Names like James Trafford and Emiliano Martínez have been mentioned, though Martínez's age and club situation complicate things. Liverpool has also signed Giorgi Mamardashvili as a long-term option, but he still needs to develop further.
