Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a move for Valencia and Georgia star Giorgi Mamardashvili, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who has revealed that the 23-year-old could be loaned out straight away.
According to Report, which cites GiveMeSport, still yet to sign a new player this summer, the Reds are hoping to conclude the transfer window on a positive note and one of the areas in need of strengthening is between the posts with Adrian now at Real Betis.
Alongside Adrian’s recent adieu, Caiomhin Kelleher’s Anfield future is also hanging heavily in the balance, which means that Arne Slot and Co would dip their toes into the market before the summer transfer window closes for business at the end of the month.
Despite boasting one of the best goalkeepers in world football in the name of Alisson Becker, Liverpool are still in the market for additional reinforcements in the goalkeeper department – hence their interest in Mamardashvili, who is reportedly 'keen' on a move to Anfield.
Talking on Playback, the ever-reliable Romano suggested that the Reds’ interest in the 23-year-old, previously described as 'sensational', remains concrete ahead of a prospective move, all while they have spoken to the 21-cap Georgia international’s agents.
“I told you here on Playback a few days ago that Liverpool’s interest in Mamardashvili remains something concrete, and I can tell you that, as of today, the story remains on. Liverpool have, on the table,the possibility to go for Mamardashvili, Liverpool know there is this opportunity, Liverpool spoke to the agents of the player, Liverpool spoke to Valencia via the agents of the player.
The football insider then suggested that it is now up to Liverpool whether they table a proposal for the Euro 2024 star. What would happen in the event of him becoming Liverpool’s first summer signing, per Romano, the glovesman would be loaned out, as he would not play second fiddle to Alisson.
“Now it's on Liverpool. They have to decide whether they sign Mamardashvili and, in that case, loan him out because Mamardashvili would not stay to be back-up for Alisson. So Liverpool’s goalkeeper next season will be Alisson, 100% no doubts, no chance to change, then Mamardashvili would be an opportunity in this moment.”
