Richard Hughes finds star to replace 'heroic' Liverpool ace | OneFootball

Liverpool are now 'monitoring' Olympiakos goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis

Liverpool's goalkeeping ranks have been fairly stacked over the last couple of years.

Alisson has been the Reds' first-choice goalkeeper and up until this season, Caoimhin Kelleher was his back-up.

This summer, Kelleher chose to pack his bags and join Brentford which resulted in Giorgi Mamardashvili coming in to be Liverpool's second-choice 'keeper.

And, even though the Georgian has put in some fairly impressive performances when he's filled in for the Brazilian, it feels like his future could lie away from Anfield if a fresh report from Area Napoli is to be believed.

The report starts by saying that Roma, Juventus and Napoli are all interested in acquiring Konstantinos Tzolakis' services with the 'keeper 'keen' on a move to the Serie A.

Olympiakos are asking for a fee worth around £17 million for their star man which feels like a fairly reasonable fee.

Area Napoli also share that Liverpool and Arsenal have been 'monitoring him in recent months' despite their goalkeeping positions already being filled.

As mentioned, when Mamardashvili has played for Liverpool this season, he's often put in rather solid performances.

The Georgian was Valencia's starting goalkeeper last term and, even though he has been given the odd chance by Slot this season, if Tzolakis is brought in, it's hard to see a way back into the team for the Georgian.

Of course, Alisson's contract is set to expire in 2027 so the Greece international could be seen as his replacement but, with the performances that the Brazilian has put in over the last couple of months, it's hard to see why the Reds would let him go.

Succession plans obviously need to be made for when players exit Anfield but, since Alisson is only 33 years old, he still has plenty of time to be Liverpool's starting 'keeper.

Tzolakis' future is obviously still up in the air at the moment but, if Liverpool really want to sign the Olympiakos ace, it doesn't feel like the £17 million fee will put them off, especially if they see him as the next big thing.

The only problem that they'd be faced with is what to do with Mamardashvili, especially since he's been described as a "heroic" player due to his previous performances.
