OFFICIAL: Georgia goalkeeper Mamardashvili to join Liverpool in 2025

Mamardashvili shone during his nation's first ever major tournament at Euro 2024 as Georgia reached the last 16 before bowing out to eventual winners Spain. "Liverpool have reached an agreement for the transfer of Giorgi Mamardashvili, subject to a work permit and international clearance - with the Valencia goalkeeper set to move to Anfield ahead of the 2025-26 season," Liverpool said in a statement.
"The Reds have secured a deal for the 23-year-old that will see him stay in Spain for the remainder of the current campaign with Los Che before switching to Merseyside next summer." Liverpool will reportedly pay 30 million euros (£25 million, $34 million) plus a further five million euros in add-ons for their first signing of the transfer window.
The club's current number one Alisson Becker revealed this week that he has rejected lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia. Alisson still has two years left on his contract at Anfield but backed the move for Mamardashvili.
"I think the club needs to prepare for the future. We are not going to last forever here," the Brazilian told the Liverpool Echo. "I think it was a good idea, I knew about that (Mamardashvili) before it came out on social media and that is a good message for me because the club cares about what I think."
