Liverpool in a Keeper Kerfuffle…
Liverpool’s Alisson Becker might once again find himself the apple of Saudi Arabia’s eye, as the desert knights, armed with sacks of gold, come galloping in. Last year’s dramatics saw Alisson turn down the chance to rule a Middle Eastern castle in favor of staying under the English drizzles. With young Giorgi Mamardashvili—known for his cat-like reflexes and punchy haircuts—expected to leap into Anfield, will Alisson stay put or ride off into the sandy sunset?
It’s a goalkeeper jamboree in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with Al-Hilal aiming their golden arrows at Alisson, both Ederson of Manchester City and Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen. But with more drama than a soap opera full of plot twists, ter Stegen’s supposed reluctance to flee Camp Nou could mean Alisson’s phone rings off the hook, with more offers than a department store sale!
Alisson, being Liverpool’s trusty guardian until at least 2026, seems unfazed by the sandy whispers. “Yes, they love me like fresh falafels,” he might as well say, “but I am sticking to Merseyside for now.” Despite a temptation as alluring as seeing a dog with a ball in a park, Alisson’s love for Liverpool and his contract, as loyal as a retriever, seem set to keep him on the English pitch. For now!
