Liverpool are considering a move for Giorgi Mamardashvili, a goalkeeper currently playing for Valencia, with an asking price of approximately £35 million. A loan deal is also being considered.
Unless Caoimhin Kelleher departs, Liverpool will not require a new goalkeeper this summer, but the 23-year-old Georgian international is considered as a possible long-term investment.
It is anticipated that Mamardashvili’s contract with the LaLiga team will conclude in the year 2027.
The goalie became the starting goalkeeper for the Spanish team Valencia in 2022 after a loan stint with the club; he was a product of the Dinamo Tbilisi system.
With his inclusion in every game, he helped Georgia advance from Group F to the round of 16, where they would go on to defeat Portugal 2-0 in the championship match.After starting goalkeeper Alisson missed a significant amount of time due to a hamstring injury in the 2023–24 season, Liverpool turned to Kelleher for much of that year’s play.
A 25-year-old named Kelleher wowed as he filled in for his Brazilian teammate. During Liverpool’s triumphant run in the Carabao Cup last season, he stood out.
Previous reports from Mail Sport indicated that the Irishman’s exploits had caught the eye of some throughout Europe. Nuno Espirito Santo, the manager of Nottingham Forest, was said to have been a fan of the goalkeeper.
Meanwhile, midfielder Fabio Carvalho has been officially signed by Brentford for £27.5 million from Liverpool.
The talented 21-year-old was courted by Southampton and Leicester, but he will be returning to London to join the Reds after joining Fulham for £5 million two years ago.
While at Anfield, the Portuguese international—who represented England at the youth level—went on loan to RB Leipzig and Hull.
