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

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has officially had its first new player in this summer’s transfer window, and that is goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Accordingly, The Kops have decided to pay 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, one special thing 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 an underdog at the tournament, Mamardashvili put in a stellar performance with some excellent saves in goal, setting the stage for his forward players to shine, helping the Eastern European team advance to the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time in their debut.

With the Georgian goalkeeper remaining at Valencia on loan until next summer, this 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 showed that 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 will not be here forever, I am also getting older! No, for a goalkeeper I am still young, I have a lot of energy and still have a lot to give to this club, and I want to give the club as much as possible.

The club will do it for other positions as well. We have a lot of important players whose contracts are coming to an end, and the club needs to prepare and organise 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.”
