Big decision for Michael Edwards as Euro club make first move to sign Liverpool star – View | OneFootball

Irrespective of where Liverpool finish at the end of this season, the next summer is going to be very interesting.

The Reds boss, Arne Slot, is very happy with the squad he inherited from Jurgen Klopp, but he will definitely look to add a few players of his own choice.

Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes are faced with the challenges of sorting out the contract situations of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, and they will have to make a big decision next summer about their goalkeeping department as well.

Liverpool have two top-class goalkeepers – Alisson and Caoimhin Kelleher. However, only one of them will stay at the club next season after the Reds signed Giorgi Mamardashvili in the summer.

The Georgian goalkeeper is currently plying trade in Spain with Valencia on loan and will join the Reds next season.

Galatasaray keen to sign Alisson

According to a report from Sabah Spor, Turkish giants Galatasaray are keen to sign Alisson next summer.

They are closely monitoring his situation and have even made first contact (possibly through intermediaries) to sign the 32-year-old Brazilian keeper.

Slot has confirmed recently that Alisson will remain as the first-choice keeper at the club, and Kelleher will be his understudy.

Kelleher has been simply outstanding for both club and country, but sadly, he is behind Alisson in the pecking order.

He has always impressed in the absence of Alisson but has found it really hard to cement the number one spot.

Big decision for Liverpool

The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper has said many times that he wants to play regular football, and he won’t have any shortage of admirers.

Liverpool can demand a high transfer fee for the 26-year-old should they decide to let him go.

Alisson, on the other hand, wants to stay at Liverpool, but will he still be the first-choice goalkeeper at the club next season? Will he accept a back-up role?

If Gala are prepared to pay a handsome fee for Alisson, Liverpool could be tempted to offload him.

On the other hand, Edwards will be aware of the fact that the Reds will never be able to recoup the money they paid for Alisson, and it makes a lot of sense for the club to keep the Brazilian as goalkeepers usually have a long career.

Having said that, Edwards has his own methods of dealing with transfers, and the Reds fans trust him to make the right decisions that are in the best interest of the club.
