Alisson revealed that Liverpool have told him about their move for Giorgi Mamadashvili and believes that the team needs to prepare for the future.
It's been a quiet summer for Liverpool, who are yet to sign following Martin Zubimendi's decision to stay at Real Sociedad despite the Reds' strong interest.
New manager Arne Slot would have hoped his squad would be strengthened but with one week to go Liverpool face a race against the clock to bring in any reinforcements.

However, one potential arrival is Valencia goalkeeper Mamardashvili with Liverpool in talks over a potential £30m deal for the Georgia international, who is likely to spend the season on loan in Spain.
The Reds clearly have the future in mind with this deal and have no doubt begun planning for life without Alisson, who has three years left on his current deal at Anfield.
The Brazilian revealed that Liverpool approached him about signing the 23-year-old and he thought it was a good idea.
“The club needs to prepare for the future,” he told The Times.
“We can't stay here forever, I'm getting old! No, as a goalkeeper I'm still young, I have a lot of potential and I still have a lot to do for this club and I want to give the club as much as possible.
“They will do it in different positions. We have many important players whose contracts are expiring and the club must plan for the future.
“I think it was a good plan. I knew about that [Mamardashvili] it hasn't gone out on social media and that's a good message for me because the club cares about what I think. They are doing the right thing but, for me, as long as I have my contract here and I'm still happy here, the club is happy with me, my family is happy here, [so] I will stay.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are all out of contract next summer with Liverpool needing to make important decisions on these three who are a big part of the club.
Alisson also revealed that he is rejecting approaches from Saudi Arabia but added that he is open to a project later in his career.
