Journalist claims Liverpool star is facing make-or-break season amid doubts over his future

The 18-year-old has remained on loan at Genk but is expected to move to Anfield next summer, potentially creating competition for the starting position.

Meanwhile, Alisson’s future remains unclear, and his contract situation will likely shape Liverpool’s goalkeeping plans.

If the Brazilian goalkeeper extends his stay, Mamardashvili could face another season as a backup, something that may not appeal to a player eager to establish himself as a first-choice goalkeeper.

For now, Mamardashvili will have the opportunity to demonstrate his quality under Andoni Iraola. His performances throughout the campaign could play a significant role in determining whether Liverpool continue with their original succession plan or explore alternative options.
