Liverpool have reached an agreement to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, with the goalkeeper set to spend the 2024-25 season with the La Liga club before arriving at Anfield ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mamardashvili earned widespread attention for his performances for Georgia at Euro 2024, with his display in the 1-1 draw against Czechia a particular standout. Liverpool's desire to sign a new goalkeeper this summer was increased by Saudi interest in current number one Alisson, though <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/alisson-explains-why-snubbed-big-money-saudi-arabia-transfer-stay-liverpool/blt8bda49c18552538d" target="_blank">the Brazilian eventually rejected a proposal</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Mamardashvili has been imperious since joining Valencia from Dinamo Tbilisi in 2021, keeping 31 clean sheets in 102 appearances. Liverpool have reportedly paid £29 million (€34m/$38m) for the shot-stopper.

DID YOU KNOW?

The stopper will be looking to put together a strong season for Valencia in the hopes of providing Alisson with a genuine threat to the No.1 spot at Anfield upon his arrival next year.
