Journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Liverpool have officially acquired goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili after successfully recruiting him from Valencia.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have officially had their first new player in the summer transfer window this year, and that is goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Accordingly, The Kops have decided to spend a fee of 35 million Euros, including a profit sharing clause if the 23-year-old goalkeeper is sold later. Mamardashvili will have a medical examination before officially becoming a player of the Anfield team.

However, what is special is that Mamardashvili will continue to play for Valencia until the end of this season, and will move to England in July 2025.

Mamardashvili rose to prominence after his explosive performance at Euro 2024 for Georgia. Despite being considered a “underdog” team in the tournament, Mamardashvili had a sublime performance with excellent saves in goal, thereby creating the premise for the players above to shine, thereby helping the team from Eastern Europe to advance to the knockout stage of a major tournament for the first time in their first participation.

With the Georgian goalkeeper remaining on loan at Valencia until next summer, it could spell the departure of Allison Becker, Liverpool’s number one goalkeeper for the past six years, despite his contract running until 2027.

However, in a recent interview with the Times, Alisson suggested he has no intention of leaving Anfield despite Mamardashvili’s imminent arrival.

The Brazilian goalkeeper shared: “The club needs to prepare for the future. We won’t be here forever, I’m getting older too! No, for a goalkeeper I’m still young, I have a lot of energy and I still have a lot to give to this club, and I want to give as much as I can to the club.

The club will do the same for other positions. We have many important players whose contracts are coming to an end, and the club needs to prepare and arrange for the future. I think it’s a good idea. I knew about it before it appeared on social media, and it’s a good message for me because the club cares about my opinion.”
