Done deal: Liverpool agrees to pay a £49.8 million fee plus salary in exchange for signing

Days before the deadline, the Anfield club was able to formally declare their first summer transfer market signing.

Liverpool has officially completed the purchase of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia after agreeing to pay a sum of £49.8 million in salary and fees.

According to Levante EMV, Liverpool has agreed to pay the Los Che a fee of £29.5 million (35 million euros, of which 30 million are set and the remaining 5 million are bonuses).

Regarding the specifics of the agreement, however, the news source states that Liverpool and the Georgian international have reached a six-year agreement. The international player will, nonetheless, be loaned to Valencia for the 2024–25 season.

Over the following half-decade, he will be paid approximately £20.3 million. Thus, the total value of the agreement is approximately £49.8 million for one of the top goalkeepers in the world.

Liverpool moved quickly to recruit Mamardashvili because he made 21 saves in the Euro 2024 group stages—tied for the most of any shot stopper in the competition’s history.

It is a sensible move to allow the 23-year-old to remain on loan at Valencia for the entire season, with Alisson solidly maintaining his place as Anfield’s top player and Kelleher serving as a reliable backup.

But as far as the performances are concerned, he isn’t enjoying the time of his life at the Mestalla just yet.

In the first two league games that Valencia lost, he has already allowed five goals, and Valencia is now in 20th place in La Liga. They will play Athletic Bilbao away from home later today.

Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham, has bolstered his midfield and offence this summer.

Among other players, Spurs have managed to bring in midfielder Archie Grey from Leeds United and striker Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth.

They have given Tottenham the strength and depth they needed to contend for a spot in the top four of the Premier League this year. They made these additions to the squad this summer.

The North Londoners are reportedly interested in signing a defensive player, but Liverpool and Bayern Munich will likely put up a fierce fight for the player’s services.

Diario Expreso (quoted by Liverpool Echo) claims that Tottenham is considering a move for Piero Hincapie, the defender for Bayer Leverkusen.

It has been communicated to the Premier League team and all other interested clubs that a £50 million offer would be required in order to recruit the player this summer.

Spurs have enough centre backs for the upcoming season with Radu Dragusin serving as the backup option and Cristian Romero and Mickey van de Ven as the first choice.

Ben Davies, a left-back, has additionally demonstrated his ability to play centre defence when called upon.

Spurs are still hoping to sign the player, who is a left- and centre-back in addition to that.

More than a defender, Tottenham needs a wide attacker.

The manager of Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso, is keen to keep the defender on staff and believes the only way the defender would be allowed to leave the German champions this summer is if he receives a sizable financial offer.

Given that Tottenham have paid a large quantity of money to acquire Solanke and Grey this summer, it seems doubtful that they will spend the same amount of money on another defender, especially one who will serve as a backup.

Spurs require greater depth in their assault, especially from the right side of the attack, therefore they must concentrate on their wide attacking areas.
