“You are making a big mistake” — Liverpool icon warns

Liverpool is making a big mistake, former Reds striker John Aldridge launches scathing critique of the club’s transfer strategy.

Heading into next season, Liverpool are looking to move on from their academy graduate; Caoimhin Kelleher in favor of Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

According to Aldridge, he believes the move could backfire on the Reds as he rates Kelleher a better option to Mamardashvili who will be arriving at Anfield next summer.

Caoimhin Kelleher currently an Irish international, has proven his worth time and again during Alisson Becker’s absences.

Last season, he made 26 appearances, delivering crucial performances and keeping five clean sheets. Despite whispers of a potential exit, Kelleher chose to stay at Anfield, showing loyalty and a willingness to fight for his place.

Now, Liverpool’s decision to prioritize Mamardashvili, Valencia’s towering 6’6″ goalkeeper, as Alisson’s eventual replacement has raised eyebrows. While the Georgian has impressed in La Liga, Aldridge questions whether he surpasses Kelleher’s quality and experience in the Liverpool system.

Speaking to Sunday World, Aldridge didn’t hold back:

“I think Liverpool are making a mistake with their Ireland keeper as Kelleher is better than Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili. That signing is now done, so Kelleher will need to leave Liverpool next summer.”

The imminent arrival of Mamardashvili sets the stage for a goalkeeper reshuffle at Anfield. Kelleher, at 25, may seek regular first-team action elsewhere, leaving Liverpool with a gamble on whether Mamardashvili can fill Alisson’s boots.
