Can I start by saying we missed the best option in Mamardashvili and the other options are fairly limited. However, the little I have seen of Marco Carnessechi has been very good. I would wait for him to have a good season this season and then go in for him.
Mamar's transfer to Liverpool ironically gives us another opening. I can't see Alisson settling for a bench place, so if they plan on making Mamar 1st choice, I'd try and nick Alisson.
If not, Kelleher on loan for a season might be the best option until a new prospect pops up.

Doubt they'll be able to sign a starter in January, but at least then you could possibly get Alvaro Valles for 5m or less since his contract runs out. Was one of the best GKs in La Liga last season and with him you at least have a reliable backup.
With a good backup the starter would be under some pressure if he underperforms. No one is going to be bothered by having Inaki Pena as the backup as he's worse.
Also think Carnesecchi is interesting as already mentioned. Let's see how he does this season.

What is his normal form in Europe? Has been letting us down in important games in CL since 2015

Carnesecchi the Atalanta GK would be my top pick. Maybe Trubin, Jorgensen or Valles as alternatives. If we are talking about long term solutions.
But I certainly wouldn't mind short term solutions either. With a little older goalkeepers.
Just get that guy out of the club and we are fine. I don't think anybody could be worse than him at the moment. Mentally, physically, technically - he's fucked up on all fronts. Washed to the core.
Huge miss letting Mamardashvili to Liverpool, of course.

GK is a key position for any team fighting for trophies.
Mid table teams not so much as you can go up and down a bit and rectify as season goes on.
For tops teams, fighting for titles or playing Champions legue, where competition is so fierce often few moments can decide the outcome.. having a great GK is a must.

I would go for Valles in January or Merit.
Someone who isn't essentially replacing Ter Stegen but can directly compete with him, that coaches won't be afraid of starting them if they feel MATS is in bad form.
Both has expiring contracts, so won't cost an arm and leg, will address the biggest weakness we have (backup GK) While potentially fixing the starting one.

PS:
1- I won't rely on La Masia, Barca system doesn't favour GK development at all. The likes of Astralaga or Kochen aren't anywhere ready and we will keep them stagnating in 3rd division or on our bench. Kochen got serious injury btw.
2-We were linked with Backhaus, but after returning to Bremen, he failed to be starting GK so far. Maybe it was an agent PR, or we are actually trying to get a new young GK.
For a young GK there is Restes in France but he is anti Barca tbh.
3-If we are going to splas big, Bart Verbruggen & Trubin are worth consideration.

Sadly, they won't go anytime soon not even for a good backup GK let alone for a replacement.
Imo this is one of the urgent positions that need to be adressed, I mean, when you consider yourself a big club and only have one GK who is a washed up version of a former self you need to do something about it asap.
