Alisson remains Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper, though he has missed several matches this season because of injury. He is currently sidelined with a thigh problem. As a result, Mamardashvili has already made a number of appearances this term.
Liverpool paid Roma €72.5 million for his services in 2018. Since then he has been a cornerstone of Liverpool’s success, including the 2019 Champions League win and the 2020 and 2025 Premier League titles, making 332 appearances in total.
At Juventus, Wojciech Szczesny took over from the legendary Gianluigi Buffon and held the number-one spot for several years. The Pole initially retired in 2024, then briefly revived his career and moved to FC Barcelona.
Michele Di Gregorio was earmarked to follow in Szczesny’s footsteps, but he is not among the elite shot-stoppers and has yet to fully convince. As a result, second-choice Mattia Perin has been preferred on occasion this term.
