Alisson Becker has been heavily linked with a move away from Liverpool at the end of the season. Although the 33-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper has agreed a contract extension for a further year – tying him to the club until 2027 – this has not stopped speculation about his future. Juventus presented favorable terms for a three-year contract, which reportedly attracted Alisson. However, the final decision was that the Brazilian international would remain at Anfield.
Alisson will serve out his contract at Liverpool before moving on to new challenges, and now it's time for Andoni Iraola and Richard Hughes to find a new first-choice goalkeeper. Giorgi Mamardashvili, who moved to Anfield in the summer of 2025 after a loan spell at Valencia, may have missed his opportunity, leaving space for other candidates.
The 25-year-old Georgian played 20 times for the Reds in the 2025/26 season, but only won on six occasions. This situation led to speculation that Liverpool would reconsider and look for a new goalkeeper to start. A report from Athletic now claims that another Liverpool goalkeeper could be given the chance to prove himself.
Vitezslav Jaros, 24, was having a very positive loan campaign at Ajax before suffering an injury that ruled him out of the season. Jaros is not expected to be fit until early 2027, at which point Liverpool will consider whether to send him out on loan again. The report indicates that Jaros is highly valued within the club.
Once Alisson leaves — and Jaros gets more playing time — he could be considered as the team's new number 1. Liverpool have high hopes for the young goalkeeper, who turns 25 in a month's time, and was enjoying a season on loan at Ajax before suffering a serious knee injury in February that is expected to keep him out for most of 2026. Only in the 2027 winter transfer window will he have the opportunity to assess his options again, provided his recovery goes as planned.
If the second half of next season is successful, the academy graduate could begin to compete for a starting spot — or demand a significant transfer fee if he is transferred. Reports indicate that Jaros is under contract until 2028, which will give him plenty of time to stake a claim for a place in the team. He joined Liverpool from Slavia Prague as a youth player nine years ago and has completed several loan spells, making two appearances for Liverpool's first team.
