Wonderkid will join Andoni Iraola's squad

Andoni Iraola's time at Liverpool has been recieved differently by members of the Reds' fanbase.

Some feel like he's done a good job with what he has at his disposal and others believe that he should be doing a lot better than he is.

Right now, Liverpool are fourth in the Premier League table and have lost three games across all competitions.

And, while this is slightly better than where they ended the 2025-26 season, it's clear that there are still plenty of improvements that need to be made.

That's why so many transfer links with Liverpool have now started to emerge.

Over the summer, four new players were added to Liverpool's first-team squad but, five were signed.

The only player who didn't join up with the Reds this season was KRC Genk's Lucca Brughmans.

The Belgian was signed by Liverpool for £30 million with fans questioning why that much was spent on a relatively unproven 18-year-old goalkeeper.

However, after being sent back on loan to Genk to get some more experience under his belt, Brughmans has brought his game on massively.

Since his return, he's make the goalkeeper spot his own with Liverpool's fans now wondering what their plans for the youngster are next season.

And now, thanks to an update from WinWin Sports, that has been made more than clear.

"Ze Maria, the agent of Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who plays for Liverpool FC, revealed the latest developments in negotiations to renew his client's contract with the Reds, in an exclusive interview with winwin," they wrote.

"Ze Maria confirmed to our website that talks with the English club are still in their early stages, saying: 'Alisson loves Liverpool very much. We are in preliminary talks to renew the contract.'

"The agent's statements confirm what the Brazilian goalkeeper himself said, as he expressed his desire to stay at Liverpool beyond his contract, which ends at the end of the current season, confirming his happiness at the English club."

With Alisson's agent saying that they're in talks with Liverpool about extending the Brazilian's contract, it's clear that both parties want him to stay.

And, thanks to the recent performances that he's put in, it's clear why they want that to happen.

On the face of things, this is great news for Liverpool as it means that they won't have to worry about their goalkeeper for another year or two.

But, for Giorgi Mamardashvili, it's bad.

The Georgian was initially signed to take over from Alisson in the future but, after his 20 appearances last term, he proved that he wasn't good enough to do that.

This led to Brughmans being signed and, with how well he's been performing for Genk, there's no way that Liverpool will let him go out on loan again.

However, since Alisson is now likely to stay put, the young Belgian will have to become Iraola's number two.

So, not only does this mean that Mamardashvili will have to be moved on but, it also means that the Reds massively believe in Brughmans to meet his potential.

Here's hoping everything works out as Liverpool want it to.
