Liverpool now has Giorgi Mamardashvili as a transfer option. Georgia’s goalkeeper shone at Euro 2024.
Potential move from Valencia and an could be followed by instant loan
Giorgi Mamardashvili, the goalkeeper for Valencia and a key player for Georgia at Euro 2024 this summer, is reportedly being courted by Liverpool, who are “seriously considering” making an approach.
Georgia qualified for the tournament by defeating 2004 champion Greece thanks in large part to Mamardashvili, who also surprised everyone by putting on incredible performances against Portugal and Czechia to advance to the knockout stages.
Since assuming the position of starting custodian permanently from Jasper Cillessen in early 2022, the 23-year-old has represented Valencia at the club level.
Liverpool is reportedly considering a deal “in excess of €30m” (£25.6m) for Mamardashvili, according to Fabrizio Romano. However, Alisson Becker is still unquestionably the Reds’ starting goalkeeper, so the plan would be to loan him out right away to make sure he plays every day.
It might be similar to Chelsea’s 2011 acquisition of Thibaut Courtois, who was loaned to Atletico Madrid for three seasons before being eventually brought back to replace Petr Cech.
Romano continues, saying that although negotiations are continuing, Liverpool must decide whether to pursue it or not. Mamardashvili is said to be “keen” about joining Anfield and about the loan concept.
Alisson joined Liverpool in 2018 after setting a world record for the transfer of goalkeepers from Roma. The Brazilian, who turns 32 in October, was a key component of the team’s success under Jurgen Klopp but lost a significant portion of the last campaign due to injuries. He is now approaching the end of his career.
In his most current contract with Valencia, which was signed in 2022, Mamardashvili has a €100 million (£85.5 million) release clause; nevertheless, the Spanish team is willing to take a far smaller price than that.

Amidst Liverpool transfer rumours, the manager makes “blackmailed” claim while the player skips training

Teun Koopmeiners, an Atalanta midfielder, has ceased attending practices due to rumours of a move to Liverpool. This summer, the Reds have been strongly linked to a deal for the Netherlands international.
Last season, Koopmeiners was a standout player for Atalanta as they won the Europa League, defeating Liverpool in the quarterfinals. The Netherlands international has, meanwhile, been predicted to sign with Juventus in recent weeks, with the Reds appearing less likely to be his final destination.
In anticipation of Arne Slot’s debut season, Liverpool began to show interest in the 26-year-old as a possible midfield addition. Though Real Sociedad player Martin Zubimendi is the top target for Liverpool, Koopmeiners appears more and more likely to sign with Juventus.
Koopmeiners has been playing for Atalanta for a few weeks now, but it looks like he’s going to sign with Juventus. Atalanta’s head coach Gian Piero Gaspeini has officially announced that Koopmeiners has made the decision to no longer train with the team.
According to Gasperini, Atlanta feels as though they are being “blackmailed” by the circumstances surrounding Koopmeiners’ future. The coach of the Serie A team also stated that Koopmeiners has already made the decision to depart in support of a transfer to Turin.
“Up until the end of last week, everything with Koopmeiners was going well,” Gasperini said to the Italian daily l’Eco di Bergamo.
“The athlete has already signed an agreement to join to Juventus. He made the decision to stop training and playing with us because he was stressed.
He is also no longer useful to the team or his teammates as a result of this circumstance.
“The club has responded by taking a very firm stance, feeling that they are being blackmailed in a way that is distinct from the numerous other occasions in the past when the club has sold valuable assets to major teams
