Liverpool considered PSG’s Lucas Chevalier before signing Giorgi Mamardashvili | OneFootball

According to a report from The Times, Liverpool considered signing Lucas Chevalier (23) before deciding to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili (25). Looking for a long-term successor for Alisson Becker, the now PSG goalkeeper was one of the names for consideration. 

The Premier League champions were considering multiple names as they looked to secure a potential long-term successor for the goalkeeping position. When Chevalier was up for consideration, he was at Lille and commanded a fee of €48m before signing for PSG – a figure which was deemed to be too costly for the Reds. The Merseyside outfit also considered Porto’s Diogo Costa. 

Liverpool’s Mamardashvili and Chevalier to face off on Wednesday?

The Times believes Wednesday evening’s Champions League clash with Les Parisiens could be the biggest of the Georgian international stopper’s career. However, things are much different for the PSG stopper, with him losing his starting place to Matvei Safonov.
