Liverpool have enjoyed a quiet summer in the transfer market <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-eye-valencia-goalkeeper-giorgi-mamardashvili-prepare-alisson-long-term-replacement/blt5a4f8481d90e0155" target="_blank">but have stepped up talks for Mamardashvili</a> who is set to become the first signing of the Arne Slot era, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13761845/Liverpool-completing-Valencia-Giorgi-Mamardashvili-Georgia-Arne-Slot.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>. However, Mamardashvili may have to wait to actually move to Liverpool. The goalkeeper could stay on loan at Valencia for another season as part of the deal before heading to Anfield in 2025.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Alisson remains Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper, with Caoimhín Kelleher set to be his backup again in the 2024-25 campaign. However, Liverpool are looking to the future with Mamardashvili,&nbsp;who could replace either stopper. Alisson will turn 32 in October and is contracted to Liverpool until 2027, while Kelleher has admitted this summer that he wants a role as a No.1.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Mamardashvili made 30 saves in four matches for Georgia at Euro 2024. The total is the second highest in Euros history, after Russia stopper Igor Akinfeev managed 32 in 2008

DID YOU KNOW?

Mamardashvili is expected to join Liverpool in a deal worth around €40 million (£34m) but Liverpool fans may have to wait to see him feature for the Reds. Alisson will continue in goal under Slot, with the Reds back in action against Brentford at Anfield.
