Liverpool F.C. completes signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili | G. Mamardashvili

Liverpool F.C. have completed the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili, the 23-year-old Georgian goalkeeper, from Valencia. The deal is worth an initial €30 million plus €5m in add-ons. Mamardashvili will return to Valencia for the 2024/25 season.

What happened?

Liverpool F.C. have agreed to sign Mamardashvili, who is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeeping talents in the world. He starred for Georgia at the European Championships this summer.

Why it matters for Liverpool F.C.

The signing of Mamardashvili represents future planning from Liverpool F.C., with Alisson turning 32 next month. Caoimhin Kelleher is a quality back-up goalkeeper, but his contract expires in 2026 and he may seek a new challenge.

What comes next?

Mamardashvili will develop for another season in La Liga before making a decision over their No.1 next summer. He is the joint-most valuable goalkeeper in the world on Transfermarkt, along with Porto's Diogo Costa.
