Liverpool finally make a signing! Giorgi Mamardashvili completes £29m Anfield transfer with Georgian set to remain with Valencia for rest of season

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.

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 the Brazilian eventually rejected a proposal.

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.

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.
