The Daily Mail reported that Allison supported Liverpool's signing of Mamadashvili and has been helping the new teammate in training.

The Georgian goalkeeper has officially transferred from Valencia for £29 million this summer and plans to make his debut in the third round of the Reds' League Cup against Southampton next week.

His national team coach David Weber believes that Mamadashvili has all the qualities that can make Alison's final departure smoothly, and he exudes a similar aura to Donarumma.

David Webber said: "It was in September 2023, and he first caught my attention and he immediately stood out for his presence in front of the door."

"He is very communicative, talkative, and a very good save expert. It made me exclaim that he really stands out. I trained one-on-one with him and learned about his character, so I know he is a down-to-earth guy, speaks English well, is very ambitious, has a stable private life, is focused, right The game has its own mature understanding. "

"He can handle pressure at important moments. Yes, he has a good personality and excellent saves, but he can also perform in these competitions. In the European Cup, he showed his true strength, and then I knew he could play at the highest level. "

Alison's contract expires at the end of next season, and Liverpool took quick action last year to ensure the signing of Mamadashvili, which the transfer team believes reflects their strategic commitment to future planning.

Chelsea and Barcelona have expressed interest in Mamadashvili, and Liverpool know that if they wait, the club will not be able to sign him. Allison also supports the club's plan to sign his long-term successor and has been helping him in training.

The Post revealed that before his outstanding European Cup journey in 2024, Mamadashvili scored extremely high points in Liverpool's data test, leading other alternatives, including Schwarier, who joined Paris Saint-Germain from Lille this summer.

Weber added: "We started using different systems during our time at the UEFA League, which is one aspect that he needs to improve, and he did it. It's not that he can't throw the ball from the backcourt, he can, but it needs practice, and we use his abilities more now."

"When you see a player like Donaruma, he's tall, present, and a great save expert. You can make analogies. Mamadashvili hasn't reached the level of Allison, but he's improving and he's very talented in command."

"He has a very clear goal." When he was in Valencia, he knew he wanted to play in the Premier League. He was very ambitious and had a very stable private life, which kept him down to earth. Football was his main focus and he was serious and professional. "

" He wanted to be as high as possible. He was always trying to narrow his attention so that he could stay focused when the ball was on the other end. At Liverpool, the key was to grab them when opportunities came. I think making him a successor to Allison is part of the club's plan. He knew he wouldn't be the first choice on top of Allison at the moment, but if the opportunity came, he needed to be prepared."
