Liverpool should block a transfer that\u2019s only recently been agreed, according to a prominent reporter who has outlined several reasons as to why.<\/p>\n
Liverpool<\/a> are gearing up for a second successive summer window of major change. Big-name stars like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez made way last summer, with the likes of Jeremir Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak arriving.<\/p>\n The roughly \u00a3450m spend on new recruits hasn\u2019t had the desired effect so far, though with Liverpool on course to qualify for next season\u2019s Champions League, they\u2019re well-placed to go big in the market once again.<\/p>\n A new left-back to replace Andy Robertson will arrive, as will at least one new winger to succeed Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n The common theme there is Liverpool may well sign superior players compared to what Robertson and Salah are right now, but they\u2019ll lose a boatload of experience.<\/p>\n And with Alisson Becker<\/a> recently verbally agreeing personal terms with Juventus<\/a>, the Reds could soon sorely lack for leaders in the dressing room beyond Virgil van Dijk.<\/p>\n The decision on whether to sell or keep Alisson for one more season is up to Liverpool. While Alisson has agreed terms with Juventus<\/a>, he won\u2019t push to leave if Liverpool want him to continue.<\/p>\n Alisson is contracted to Anfield for one more season, but according to Fabrizio Romano, Juve\u2019s offer would see Alisson sign a two-year deal with an option for a third.<\/p>\n As such, it\u2019s easy to see why Alisson is open to the Juve switch given he\u2019d be assured of at least one extra season at a top European side who regularly compete for major prizes.<\/p>\n But according to the latest from The Athletic\u2019s <\/a>James Pearce, Liverpool must come to their senses and block Alisson\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n Liverpool must not sell Alisson Becker<\/strong><\/p>\n Explaining why, Pearce pointed to the experience drain, with Robertson and Salah both on the way out too.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Pearce claimed current No 2, Giorgi Mamardashvili, would benefit greatly from another campaign as Alisson\u2019s understudy.<\/p>\n Pearce noted Liverpool haven\u2019t been totally convinced by the giant Georgian\u2019s displays when deputising for Alisson this term. While his shot-stopping has been exemplary, he\u2019s often been found wanting with his distribution.<\/p>\n The report comes soon after our insider, Graeme Bailey, revealed Liverpool have begun to harbour concerns over whether Mamardashvili is ready to be promoted to No 1<\/a> if Alisson goes.<\/p>\n
