New Liverpool signing Giorgi Mamardashvili has warned Alisson Becker that he is ready to fight for a place in the team next season.
The Reds signed the Georgian goalkeeper in the summer transfer window but allowed him to leave the club on loan to Valencia.
With Alisson Becker already at the club and his starting place confirmed in the team, any new goalkeeper would find it difficult to replace the Liverpool star.
However, Mamardashvili is determined to fight for his place in the team next season when he joins.
Despite suggestions that Alisson would consider a move away from the club at the end of the season, Mamardashvili has challenged the Brazilian that even if he stays at the club, he is about to get competition from the La Liga player.
“I was attracted by the Liverpool project when the club’s representatives met with me to sign me”, Mamardashvili was quoted as saying by El Desmarque.
“I will fight for the starting goalkeeper position, even if the current goalkeeper does not leave the team.”

In the next few games, Liverpool will get a glimpse of how life will look like without the Brazilian goalkeeper.
Alisson is out with an injury and he is expected to return to action next month. In his absense, Caoimhin Kelleher will take the responsibility of protecting the Liverpool goal.
Nothing has been decided yet about Alisson’s future but manager Arne Slot is about to have a headache if the Brazilian stays at the club when Mamardashvili return.
Alisson Becker faces an uncertain future at Liverpool
Along with Alisson, the likes of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil Van Dijk are all facing an uncertain future at the club.
Salah has been linked with a move to the MLS while Alexander-Arnold has admirers in Real Madrid.
As for Alisson, he has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich to replace Manuel Neuer.
The Brazilian international has contributed greatly to the success of the Reds in recent years, helping them win the Premier League and the Champions League titles.
