“My Understanding” – Journalist: Liverpool “Very Close” to Deal for “Sensational” Star
Liverpool are reportedly on the verge of finalising a deal to acquire Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, with the transfer expected to occur in the summer of 2025. Ben Jacobs shared this information in an exclusive report for GIVEMESPORT.
For several weeks, the Reds have been linked to the Georgia international as they prepare for the eventual exit of their current Brazilian number one, Alisson Becker. This preparation has directed them towards securing Mamardashvili’s services.
Initially, it was anticipated that the 23-year-old would join Bournemouth on loan for a season before his eventual move to Anfield next summer.
Although there have been slight changes in the terms of the agreement, the Valencia star is still expected to make the switch to Liverpool.
Liverpool Close to Mamardashvili Deal
According to Fabrizio Romano, the two parties have already reached an agreement on personal terms, although a final deal between Valencia and Liverpool are yet to be finalised.
However, in an exclusive interview with GIVEMESPORT on Thursday, journalist Jacobs disclosed that an agreement is now “very close,” with Mamardashvili likely to remain on loan at Valencia for the 2024/25 season before joining Liverpool in 2025.
“Yeah, Liverpool are very close to Georgi Mamardashvili from Valencia. It’s a deal framed around 2025.
“He won’t play for Liverpool this season, but it’s about jumping ahead of the market, and then structurally speaking, it’s likely that he’ll stay at Valencia for this season.
“There was some talk that to get around the fact Liverpool can’t buy and then loan to a Premier League club in the same window, he might go to Bournemouth via Valencia and then go to Liverpool afterwards.
“But my understanding is that talks are framed around him staying at Valencia this season and then going to Liverpool in 2025.”
Mamardashvili has drawn interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia but has turned down offers from the region, expressing a desire to work under Arne Slot and potentially succeed Alisson in the future.
Although Alisson still has three years left on his contract with Liverpool, he has also caught the attention of Saudi clubs.
As he approaches his 32nd birthday during the season, a move to Saudi Arabia could be appealing to him.
