Liverpool fans, who might have been resigned to a quiet transfer window, have been given something to cheer about. Reports suggest that the club has made a significant move by agreeing on a deal for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.
However, Mamardashvili will remain at Valencia for the 2024/25 season and join Liverpool next summer.
This development comes amid growing concerns among Liverpool supporters, who have watched Premier League rivals finalize their transfer business while the Reds have appeared relatively inactive. The lack of fresh faces at Anfield had begun to raise eyebrows, but recent updates suggest that Liverpool’s transfer activity is far from over.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Liverpool is now close to securing the services of Juventus winger Federico Chiesa. The two clubs are reportedly in direct negotiations, with personal terms nearly agreed upon.
Chiesa had been linked with a potential move to Barcelona, especially given the Catalan club’s financial constraints, which made him a more affordable alternative to their top target, Nico Williams. However, it seems Barcelona has missed out, and Liverpool is poised to benefit from this opportunity.
Despite Chiesa’s well-documented injury history – including multiple muscle issues, knee problems, and a cruciate ligament tear that have sidelined him for a total of 420 days since the 2021/22 season (according to Transfermarkt) – his talent is undeniable. When fit, Chiesa is a dynamic and almost unplayable force on the pitch.
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot will be eager to manage Chiesa’s fitness carefully, hoping to minimize the risk of further injuries. If they can keep him healthy, Chiesa has the potential to terrorize Premier League defenses.
Even with his injury struggles, Chiesa has an impressive record of 77 goals in 324 career appearances, averaging nearly a goal every four games (Transfermarkt). His goal-scoring ability, combined with his electrifying pace and skill, could make him a valuable addition to Liverpool’s attacking arsenal.
As negotiations continue, Liverpool fans will be hoping that this deal is finalized soon, bringing a much-needed boost to their squad.
