Liverpool are closing in on a deal to sign goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.
The Athletic reported last week that the Merseyside club were exploring a deal for the 23-year-old, who impressed for Georgia during their European Championship campaign.
A fee in the region of €40million (£34m) has been discussed between the two clubs with Mamardashvili expected to remain at Valencia for the 2024-25 campaign as part of the deal, before officially joining Liverpool next summer.
Liverpool’s position has always been that they want Mamardashvili to arrive in 2025, with Alisson’s status as first-choice goalkeeper not under threat.
The 31-year-old Brazilian is under contract until 2027 and has been capably backed up by Republic of Ireland international Caoimhin Kelleher for the past few seasons.
Kelleher, though, wants to be a No 1 and the 25-year-old is unlikely to extend his Liverpool contract, which runs until 2026. He is valued at £25m
